The relationship between students' reports of learning and their actual recall of lecture material: A validity test

Coming Out in the Classroom... An Occupational Hazard?: The Influence of Sexual Orientation on Teacher Credibility and Perceived Student Learning

“…Given that this measure consists of only a single item, a reliability score is impossible to generate. However, previous research using this method had indicated satisfactory validity (Chesebro & McCroskey, 2000;Christophel & Gorham, 1995;Frymier, 1994).…”

Communication Education: The Spiral Continues

“…Unfortunately, the few studies that provide alternatives to self-reports of cognitive learning have tended to rely on relatively simple tests of recall (Carrell & Menzel, 2001;Chesebro & McCroskey, 2000;Kelley & Gorham 1988;Witt & Wheeless, 2001). These do provide measures of actual learning rather than perceived learning, but none tap into students' ability to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, or make complex judgments.…”

Enhancing curriculum and delivery: linking assessment to learning objectives

“…Meta-analyses of college students' self-evaluation of learning find that it is positively correlated with student achievement (Cohen, 1986;Falchikov & Boud, 1998). More recent, individual studies from various content areas also find overall high correlations between self-assessment results and ratings based on a variety of external criteria (Mehta & Danielson, 1989;Coombe, 1992;Oscarsson, 1997;Chesebro & McCroskey, 2000;Wortham & Harper, 2002;Fitzgerald et al, 2003). However, we do acknowledge that student self-assessment of learning could be biased (some research has shown that low performers tend to overestimate their abilities: Hacker et al, 2000;Moreland et al, 1981) and plan to revalidate the relationship between student self-assessment and ability with future research.…”
