Do you read that as the optimization of the professionalization of young people?
Yeah maybe a bit of this, a bit of changing achievement norms among students, a bit of changing assessment norms around empathy vs. rigor (standards of excellence are necessarily exclusionary).

Not that I don't appreciate your contributions Luka but can you contextualize Marcel Wouda's relevance for us? I'm confident that there is a good reason for her inclusion—otherwise, you would never deign to post it—but I myself am too shallow and lacking in sophistication to see it.

I don't know yet. First we draw up the constellation of facts then we work out what it means?

probably the opposite, or depends on your definition of professionalism.
Like taking deadlines viscerally seriously, throughly understanding the rubrics, good group projects, etc. I would first assume this is what that graph represents, rather than students understanding the material more and more.

But how could it mean the opposite? You mean if good grades are just inflated?

there was a stark decline in student aptitude from the 60's to 70's, so if there's an optimization going on it would have to be in adherence to guidelines like youre talking about yah.
