How can frequent testing transform student learning outcomes?
This research explores the impact of frequent testing on student performance, offering insights on how strategic testing can enhance learning and retention …
Recent studies conducted over four semesters at a college have explored the efficacy of different testing frequencies, the benefits of repeating test items, and the value of rephrasing questions between tests.
This research, ‘Investigating the Frequency of Testing’ (Foss & Pirozzolo, 2017), scrutinises the conventional wisdom around testing, suggesting that a shift towards more frequent and varied testing methodologies could be beneficial.
The rationale for frequent testing is rooted in its potential to improve retention and facilitate knowledge transfer to new contexts.
