Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Student response systems are commonly used in combination with peer discussions during lectures. Research has shown that the number of correct answers increases when the same question is re-asked after discussion. This may occur because unconfident students copy the answer from their peers. To preclude this, the authors added a second, similar question to answer individually, disguised as a new case. The authors found a Cohen’s d effect size of 0.66 (N: 147) for eight valid interventions which is 65 percent above the average effect of interventions aimed at increasing student performance.
