Abstract

The TRIPSE (tri-partite problem solving exercise), a process-oriented exam that mimics the scientific process, was used previously in small classes (15-25). Provided limited data, students frame explanations and design experimental tests that they later revise with additional information. Our 6-year experience using it with larger numbers (155-204) in a freshman biology course, suggests that it could provide a means of assessing individual student performance. Students rated the learning value of this experience to be significantly higher than a standard MCQ on a 10-point scale (TRIPSEs 8.2, CI 8.1/8.4 vs. MCQs 4.9, CI 4.8/5.1, n = 712). Additionally, we tested one cohort (n = 146) with a group TRIPSE (groups of 6), and found that this variant also provided a valuable learning experience (8.0, CI 7.7/8.3).

摘要

TRIPSE（三方问题解决练习）是一种模仿科学过程的以过程为导向的考试，此前曾在小班（15 - 25人）中使用。在提供有限数据的情况下，学生构建解释并设计实验测试，随后会根据额外信息对其进行修改。我们在新生生物学课程中对更多人数（155 - 204人）使用该考试的6年经验表明，它可以提供一种评估学生个体表现的方式。学生将这种体验的学习价值在10分制上的评分显著高于标准多项选择题（TRIPSE为8.2分，置信区间8.1/8.4；多项选择题为4.9分，置信区间4.8/5.1，n = 712）。此外，我们对一个队列（n = 146）进行了小组TRIPSE测试（每组6人），发现这种变体也提供了有价值的学习体验（8.0分，置信区间7.7/8.3）。
