Reducing Stress through Agency and Autonomy: Community College Student Perspectives on Labor-Based Contract Grading

Breana Bayraktar ; Indigo Eriksen

Abstract

The flexibility of labor-based contract grading allowed students in the study to make strategic, intentional, autonomous choices about the types of labor and products they produced. This strategic decision-making helped them to balance the workload requirements of their other classes, employment, and personal issues and laid important groundwork for students’ emerging autonomy.
