“…[1][2][3][4][5] While formative assessment typically implies assessment that occurs for the benefit of programs, teachers, evaluators, or regulatory agencies, the true meaning is much broader. 1,4 For the purpose of this manuscript we will use the inimical concept of feedback, termed "correctives," to describe formative assessment provided by the instructor or program to the individual student.…”

Objectives. To determine if student self-testing improves performance during a doctor of pharmacy course. Methods. Students were given access to online quizzes with a large pool of randomly selected questions specific to upcoming examination content. Quizzes were electronically scored immediately upon completion and students were provided corrective feedback. Results. Examination scores following implementation of the practice quizzes were significantly higher in all but the last testing period. The upper fiftieth percentile of students scored higher on both the practice quizzes and subsequent examinations in all but the fourth testing period. Conclusions. Providing pharmacy students with self-testing opportunities could increase their retention of course material and provide feedback to both students and educators regarding learning, as well as provide students with a measure of their metacognition.

“…Quizzes provide testing effect that is it helps the students to learn and remember the topics for long periods [11][12][13]. It was proposed that assessment should be voluntary, nonjudgmental and should offer rapid feedback which helps the students for future retrieval of the topics [14][15][16]. Earlier studies testified that weekly quizzes are more beneficial to improve the academic performance of students [17].…”

Abstract:The problem of comparing and matching different learners' knowledge arises when assessment systems use a one-dimensional numerical value to represent "knowledge level". Such assessment systems may measure inconsistently because they estimate this level differently and inadequately. The multi-dimensional competency model called COMpetence-Based learner knowledge for personalized Assessment (COMBA) is being developed to represent a learner's knowledge in a multi-dimensional vector space. The heart of this model is to treat knowledge, not as possession, but as a contextualized space of capability either actual or potential. The paper discusses the automatic generation of an assessment from the COMBA competency model as a "guide-on-the-side".
