Improving the Relationship between Assessment Results and Student Understanding.

Trigwell, Keith; Sleet, Ray

Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, v15 n3 p190-97 Fall 1990

A study compared university chemistry students' (n=19) performances in creativity exercises, concept mapping, and traditional examinations. Performance in all three correlated with deep study strategy, but low correlations between the three methods suggests that they test different aspects of chemistry knowledge. Use and integration of all three is recommended. (Author/MSE)
