This Campbell review examines how often students are tested affects their academic performance and testing anxiety. It also explores factors like subject and grade level that may influence these outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Learning Sciences
- Assessment and Evaluation
Background:
- Student testing frequency is a critical factor influencing educational outcomes.
- Understanding the impact of assessment schedules on learning and anxiety is essential for effective pedagogy.
- Existing research presents mixed findings on the optimal frequency of student testing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the effects of varying testing frequencies on student achievement.
- To investigate the impact of different testing frequencies on students' testing anxiety levels.
- To identify moderators, including subject, grade, test type, intervention duration, and gender, influencing these effects.
Main Methods:
- Protocol for a Campbell systematic review.
- Involves synthesizing evidence from relevant empirical studies.
- Focuses on quantitative data regarding testing frequency, achievement, and anxiety.
Main Results:
- Analysis of effects of testing frequency on student achievement.
- Evaluation of the relationship between testing frequency and student testing anxiety.
- Exploration of moderating variables such as subject, grade, and gender.
Conclusions:
- Findings will inform evidence-based recommendations on optimal testing frequencies.
- Results will guide educators in balancing assessment with student well-being.
- The review aims to clarify the complex interplay between testing, learning, and anxiety.
