Two University of Colorado professors said they have demonstrated(证明) the teachers’ use of red pens in marking corrections and grading papers often affects students negatively and destroys teacher-student relationships.
News. Com. Au and ABC Science reported a paper by University of Colorado sociologists Richard Dukes and Healther Albanesi documenting their new study was published in The Social Science Journal, and that some educators have expressed doubt about the team’s findings.
The Colorado study suggested that because red is an “emotive” color expressing an exciting emotion, corrections penned in red ink were more likely to be seen by students as “shouting”, an “emotional loading” that could cause anxiety or feelings of blame against the teacher and lead to rejection of otherwise constructive feedback. Instead, teachers should use blue pens to mark papers, Richard Dukes and Healther Albanesi concluded.
ABC Science reported that students whose papers were graded with blue ink tended to give teachers higher scores.
But a University of British Colombia study published in the journal Science found both blue and red affected motivation and performance, with red attracting attention and blue increasing creativity, Science Daily reported.
