Educators and students often think about testing as a way of assessing (and grading) knowledge. However, tests themselves affect memory, because retrieval is one of the most powerful ways of enhancing learning. Therefore, Mrs. Robbins isn’t really “testing” us to assess our memorization of the chapter reading. She is “testing” us to ____
|
|
help us remember the important information in the chapter.
|
|
|
assess what we don’t know so we can study those facts outside of class.
|
|
|
punish us and thus reinforce the learning
|
|
|
condition us to encode what we read to advance our memory.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.
Detailed explanation-2: -One concern that instructors may have with regard to using testing as a teaching and learning strategy is that it may promote rote memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Learning is “a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and increases the potential for improved performance and future learning” (Ambrose et al, 2010, p.3). The change in the learner may happen at the level of knowledge, attitude or behavior.
