The Many Faces of Giving Prompt Feedback Jeffrey Henriques Department of Psychology February 10, 2011
“Knowing what you know and don’t know focuses learning” Arthur Chickering
Quizzing as a Form of Learning • Roedigger et al. • Bjork & Bjork
Using Review Quizzes to Enhance Learning • Questions and format evolved over time • Random presentation of 10 questions from a larger question bank
Creating a random quiz • Create a pool of questions • Specify how many items to sample for each attempt
Relationship Between Personality Quiz Attempts and Test Grade
Encourage repeated self-tests by using highest score in course grades
Overview • Began using infrared (IR) clickers in 2004 • Initially did not use in every class session • 1-2 questions per class • Fall 2006 questions but no clickers • Spring 2007 radio frequency (rf) clickers • Have examined test performance and student evaluation data
Comparisons in Student Test Performance Between Semesters Without and Semesters With a Student Response System n = 1529 n = 967 n = 1642 n = 1658
What About the Questions? • Classes with relatively few questions • 4 sections without clickers • 2 sections with clickers • Classes with relatively large number of questions • 5 sections with clickers
Examining the Number of Questions Asked in Class F(1, 4013) = 17.384, p < .001
