The effect of frequent quizzes on short- and long-term academic performance.

This investigation examined the effect of frequent quiz administration on the performance of dental students on course examinations, post-tests, and attitudes toward instruction. Students in an introductory radiology course were randomly divided into two groups. Quiz Group (QG) students were given a quiz at the beginning of each class, while students in the Control Group (CG) did not take the quizzes. All students took a midterm and final examination as well as post-tests at four months and ten months after the end of the course. Students also completed a questionnaire assessing the course and instructor. The QG scored higher than the CG on all exams, but these differences were significant only for the midterm and final exams (p < 0.05) and not the post-tests (p > 0.05). Evaluations of course content and instructor performance were significantly higher among QG students regarding appropriateness of examinations and overall evaluation of course (p < 0.05). Frequent quizzes enhance short-term performance on examinations and lead to more favorable student evaluations, but the effects on long-term retention of knowledge are not significant.

Linking diploma and bachelor's degree nursing education: an Illinois experiment.

Changes in the traditional applicant pool, coupled with increased numbers of diploma and associate degree graduates seeking additional nursing education, have promoted the development of nontraditional educational pathways in collegiate schools of nursing. The authors describe a unique cooperative arrangement with a provision that allows students to transfer to a bachelor's nursing program before completing their diploma studies. On the basis of initial student and faculty reports, standardized test performance, academic performance, and National Council Licensure Examination scores, this educational experiment has been successful. The planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project required considerable time and effort on the part of the administration and faculty of both schools. The program's success has led the schools to consider other cooperative ventures. The authors conclude that this approach may serve as a model for other schools interested in providing educational mobility for diploma students.
