Retrospective Pretesting in the Cognitive Domain

Rippey, Robert M.; And Others

Evaluation Quarterly, 2, 3, 481-91, Aug 78

Retrospective pretesting is a method for inferring learning by using the students' recollections of their preinstruction knowledge in lieu of actual pretesting. The most significant problem encountered in such a procedure is establishing the validity of the inferred precourse level of information; attempts to deal with that issue are presented. (Author/CTM)
