Ask students to complete a value affirmation exercise where they would rank their top values from 1 to 10 and display it in class as a reminder. This exercise will motivate students to achieve better academic performance and continue their education.

Experiment Overview

To improve students’ performance, Nudge Lebanon, in collaboration with Amel, implemented a behavioral intervention that consisted of asking students to complete a visual values affirmation task, before completing their end of Cycle I exams. In this task, students ranked a list of 10 values from most to least important, followed by a drawing exercise in which they had to visualize their number one value.
