Feedback Quizzes: Using Detailed, Written Formative Assessment to Promote Low-Stress Learning

Page history last edited by Julie Wright 8 years, 9 months ago Saved with comment

Thanks for checking in about my feedback quizzes talk at TMC15! 

 

Google Slides for this talk are at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QrJSGvTjAJrlohYbUAdmYn3PDuz3Ofas9A8UlJqxR_U/edit?usp=sharing . Everything else listed below is just for links to sites or information I mentioned in those slides.

 

I am @msjwright2 on Twitter, and blog (occasionally) at http://sadarmadillo.blogspot.com  . At this time, the post there most directly related to this talk is http://sadarmadillo.blogspot.com/2014/09/typed-targeted-feedback-on-student.html , though I may add another post-TMC. 

 

My school, which I talked about some, is http://www.pps.net/schools/davinci , and my class weblog there from last year is http://msjwright2.blogspot.com  . 

 

You can find more about Jo Boaler's ideas, talks, online courses, etc. at https://www.youcubed.org/ .

 

The Cohen et al. paper about the positive effect of the "personal assurance" is at https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/xge-a0033906.pdf .

 

Raymond Johnson's (@MathEdNet) blog post about the Butler & Nisan paper on types of feedback is at http://blog.mathed.net/2011/08/rysk-butlers-effects-on-intrinsic.html .

 

I strongly recommend the Annie Murphy Paul article "Researchers Find that Frequent Tests Can Boost Learning" (on the retrieval effect) at http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/researchers-find-that-frequent-tests-can-boost-learning/, although obviously it didn't directly affect my project here, since it just came out.

 

I would welcome having a discussion with you on Twitter, blogs, or in person about any of this work!
