Peer reviewedCottell, Philip; Harwood, Elaine – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 1998
In a study of effectiveness of classroom assessment techniques (CATs) on student learning, two college accounting teachers each taught two classes, one using CATs and one not using them. Course results did not suggest greater learning in CATs classes, better student participation, or more positive attitudes. Further research is recommended on the…

Examples of…

Peer reviewedSteadman, Mimi; Svinicki, Marilla – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 1998
Understanding the link between classroom assessment techniques (CATs) and cognitive learning theory not only allows college teachers to choose and design CATs that fit particular classroom needs, but helps them explicate to students the potential applications of CATs to study strategies in general. Once students make this leap, the effects of a…
