Description¶
MoFaCTS is an online drill-trial problem-authoring and deployment platform that administers instructional and assessment activities, scores responses, and delivers corrective feedback.
Components¶
- MoFaCTS online tutoring system used to deliver the retrieval practice experiment: MoFaCTS is the online drill-trial problem authoring and deployment platform through which the experiment was delivered. It presented the pretest, reading, retrieval practice, and posttest portions, scored all items immediately as 1 or 0, and scored short answers by "matching words in the participants’ responses to key terms necessary to answer the question correctly", using regular expressions to accept synonyms and handle ordering. It also administered corrective feedback and the 10-second review period after incorrect responses. (Maass et al. (2016))
Claims¶
- Higher self-reported confusion predicts a much larger negative effect on future performance when learners answer more questions incorrectly [~W]
- No significant impact of frustration or boredom (or anxiousness, discouragement, distractedness) on practice performance was found [~W]
- Unsuccessful retrieval attempts confer a smaller benefit to future performance than successful retrievals, whose advantage grows with item difficulty [+W]
