q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
The authors' interpretive argument (type e) applying the behavioral accountability literature to schooling. The paper offers this as a reasoned implication, not a tested result, and the available text prints no supporting data.
"We discuss the implications of the behavioral literature for schooling, where the mix of public and private purposes suggests the need for accountability to multiple constituencies, including public officials, parents, and students."
