The Effect of More Frequent Testing on a High School Chemistry Class
Alternative Title
Abstract
In today's educational atmosphere, standardized testing is the metric by which a teacher's ability to teach is measured. Teachers need an effective method for ensuring their lowest performing students improve on these standardized exams. Thirty-eight Maryknoll High School chemistry students participated in a study to evaluate the effects of more frequent testing on student exam grades. The findings suggest a possible link between the frequency of testing and improved mean test scores on academic exams. Although the overall results of the study were inconclusive, the implication for using repetition and frequent testing as an effective method of improving student grades seems promising.
