--> Do matching tests support retention learning?
Yes, the 2003a experiment had a significant positive finding which showed that matching tests do support retention of the information tested. In fact, in this single study, there was even a small significant difference in the scores of the two tested groups which favored the matching test group over the multiplechoice test group, but the actual difference in the means of the scores was so small that it would be of no practical significance. No claim for superiority of matching tests was made in the conclusions of this study—both matching and multiple-choice tests were reported to support retention learning. |
