THE EFFECTS OF IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK ON RETENTION IN AN ACADEMIC SETTING

Pages 225-232 | Accepted 27 Oct 1983, Published online: 25 Nov 2006
 

Abstract

The present study was to determine the effects of immediate feedback on retention. The sample included 186 students enrolled in eight sections of an introductory psychology course. Four sections were randomly assigned to the experiment group, and four were designated the control group. Experimental treatment was accomplished through the use of a self‐scoring test‐answer sheet. A quasi‐experimental, nonequivalent control group research design was used to allow testing of a null hypothesis. Analysis of variance revealed no significant difference in retention rates between the experimental and control groups.
