Talk:Merit pay

Reverted a series of edits due to WP:NPOV and probable WP:OR. From the material removed in the revert is an accusation against an Arizona state senator: "And, it seems, an awful lot of time editing these entries on Wikipedia." --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 16:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion by User:Greenfields

The edit I made to remove the large chunk of text was legitimate. It was not only poorly written for an encyclopedic context, but is also (as I have stated above) in violation of two of Wikipedia's most basic concepts, namely conforming to a neutral point of view and not putting forth original research. If you have reason to believe that the material I have removed should stay, please discuss it here rather than simply accusing me of vandalism. I have de-reverted my previous edit, because I truly believe not having that text here improves the article. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 01:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Greenfields has also been actively editing (some would say damaging) the wikipedia page for John Huppenthal. Complaints by editors of that page also include POV editing. Copysan 03:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UK

This system is already implemented in the UK, although I believe it to be a "correctional" measure for teachers who have failed in some way to attain good results or improvement. If anyone knows where to find information on it, it would be a valuable addition to the article, both in its own right and to compare to the pros and cons of implementation in the USA. I will try to find some sources, although don't really know where to look. Similarly if it exists in other countries... Leushenko 23:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article might be useful it includes some references to historical use of merit pay (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/mar/27/schools-teaching) --194.247.82.76 (talk) 17:49, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well in the absence of anyone's objections, I have added the Globalise tag to this article and a provisional mention that the system already exists in other countries. I will find sources and expand the article accordingly. I'd also suggest merging this with performance-related pay, as they are the same thing by different names (the latter is more common in Europe). Leushenko (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to add a section that discusses policy regarding merit pay utilizing proven economic techniques.

I would like to add a section that would promote policy regarding merit pay utilizing economic techniques such as loss aversion. Loss aversion has been tested by notable scholars and more recently by Dr. Roland Fryer and has shown positive behavior change of educators. This method of applying merit pay has worked better than other methods studied by Dr. Paul Peterson of Harvard University. I have been studying within the field of education and administration for the last 10 years and I hold a doctorate in Educational leadership and Administration from an accredited university in the U.S. I do not plan to add any independent research within this topic and will present my additions in a neutral and verifiable manner. Please let me know if there are any comments, suggestions, or objections to my intended addition. Fmerenda 15:22, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, welcome to Wikipedia. Do have a look at the note I've just added to your User Talk page, and check out the links there. Probably the most pertinent guidelines in realtion to your question above are those you will find at WP:Reliable source. It's essential that material be sourced to quality material written by somebody else. HiLo48 (talk) 21:52, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the guidance! Fmerenda 02:49, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

In the absence of any objections I will begin to add a section regarding the above research utilizing loss aversion from behavioral economics to illustrate a policy that relies upon a specifically framed merit pay intervention. Fmerenda 04:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
