Teaching without testing: A preliminary report of an innovative technique for social work education
Tóm tắt
The systematic use of study questions to guide social work student learning is described as an alternative to relying upon traditional midterm or final examinations, or term papers. The study question method avoids many of the pedagogical disadvantages of these traditional means of evaluating student learning, and a formal survey of adult learners exposed to the study question format overwhelmingly endorsed the approach, relative to written tests or term papers. Despite this favorable appraisal, the study question technique has been found to generate greater and more consistent levels of study behavior, writing, and class participation.
