Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In both studies, students using more practice-testing occasions showed higher sensitivity in the posttest. → Nick Naujoks 2022
Evidence¶
Nick Naujoks 2022¶
Nick Naujoks, Bettina Harder, Marion Händel. (2022). Testing pays off twice: Potentials of practice tests and feedback regarding exam performance and judgment accuracy. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09295-x
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression in Study 1 (N = 201, no feedback) predicting posttest sensitivity; Table 3 shows step 2 ΔR² = .03, β = .17. In Study 2 (with feedback), sensitivity was also significantly predicted (β = .24, ΔR² = .06).
"Similarly, students using more testing occasions showed higher sensitivity. That is, those students who repeatedly engaged in practice tests were able to detect more correct answers in the posttest."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In authentic undergraduate courses, taking more voluntary practice tests predicts higher final-exam performance, with and without corrective feedback — related
- More frequent practice-test participation predicts higher absolute accuracy of item-specific judgments in the final exam, regardless of feedback — related
- Without feedback, more practice-test participation predicts lower specificity (worse detection of incorrect answers); with corrective feedback this negative relation disappears — related
