Assigned textbook readings are a common requirement in undergraduate courses, but students often do not complete reading assignments or do not do so until immediately before an exam. This may have detrimental effects on learning and course performance. Regularly scheduled quizzes on reading material may increase completion of reading assignments and therefore course performance. This study examined the effectiveness of compulsory, mastery-based, weekly reading quizzes as a means of improving exam and course performance. Completion of reading quizzes was related to both better exam and course performance. The discussion includes recommendations for the use of quizzes in undergraduate courses.
指定的课本阅读是本科课程中的常见要求，但学生常常不完成阅读作业，或者直到考试前才匆忙完成。这可能会对学习和课程成绩产生不利影响。定期安排关于阅读材料的测验可能会提高阅读作业的完成率，进而提高课程成绩。本研究考察了基于掌握程度的每周强制阅读测验作为提高考试成绩和课程成绩手段的有效性。阅读测验的完成与更好的考试成绩和课程成绩都相关。讨论部分包括了在本科课程中使用测验的建议。
