Introducing a Sequence of (Almost) Unlimited, Zero-Penalty, Interview-Like Assessments into an Introductory Physics Course: Student Responses and Considerations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Minjoon Kouh – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
An introductory physics course may be run like a video game, where students have an almost unlimited number of attempts to demonstrate their competencies through a sequence of zero-penalty assessments until the end of a semester. Each checkpoint is conducted as a 10-minute, one-on-one oral interview with the instructor, and students are not…

THE TWO INFLUENCES THAT INITIATED EXPERIMENTATION WITH THE NONGRADED SCHOOL WERE THE QUINCY GRAMMAR SCHOOL OF BOSTON IN 1848 AND CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES. DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT WAS THE NONGRADED TYPE OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION THAT ALLOWED A FLEXIBLE SITUATION AND A PERMISSIVE CLIMATE IN WHICH TEACHERS COULD ADJUST THEIR PROGRAMS IN…

Instructional Control Strategies and Content Structure as Design Variables in Concept Acquisition Using Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tennyson, Robert D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1980
For college students learning concepts, the advisement condition resulted in better performance than the learner control condition and needed less instructional time than the adaptive control condition. Results also indicated that students given concepts simultaneously performed better and needed less instruction than those who received concepts…

Content Structure and Instructional Control Strategies as Design Variables in Concept Acquisition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tennyson, Carol L.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1980
Senior high students who were given concepts simultaneously learned more than those who received concepts successively. A second variable, instructional control strategy, contrasted an adaptive (computer-assisted) control strategy with learner control. Performance was above the criterion level for the adaptive condition, but below it for learner…
