Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Study and Testing on Student Learning, Retention, and Ratings of Instruction.

Halpin, Glennelle; Halpin, Gerald

Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n1 p32-38 Feb 1982

The effects of a test in contrast with no test on learning and retention were investigated. Also focused upon were the students' feelings when they did or did not have to study and take a test. Results indicate that testing is valuable in the learning process but not popular with students. (Author/GK)
