TL;DR: In this article, the effects of four testing strategies on performance in college algebra, attitude towards mathematics, and attrition rate were investigated, and two types of frequent and in-class testing strategies were compared.
Abstract: The purposes of the study were: (1) to determine the effects of four testing strategies upon performance in college algebra, attitude towards mathematics, and attrition rate; (2) to determine the effects of two types of frequent testing upon performance, attitude, and attrition rate, (3) to determine the effects of different frequencies of in-class testing upon performance, attitude, and attrition rate; and (4) to draw conclusions which might help in selecting testing methods for college algebra classes.
TL;DR: In this article, a primary science unit using a conceptual change approach was proposed to teach the concept of conceptual change to young children in the pedestrian accident prone age range of four-eight years.
Abstract: Reports that young children in the pedestrian accident prone age range of four-eight years hold a variety of naive conceptions regarding speed. Proposes a primary science unit using a conceptual change approach.
