Using Knowledge Decrement to Compare Medical Students' Long-Term Retention of Self-Study Reading and Lecture Materials.

Harrison, Ann

Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, v20 n2 p149-59 Aug 1995

A study contrasted the long-term (one year) retention of material acquired primarily through lectures and assigned independent study readings. Subjects were 16 female 3rd-year medical students. Results indicate the study methods did not differ consistently in knowledge loss or class performance, despite substantial individual differences. (Author/MSE)
