OBJECTIVES
To determine if student self-testing improves performance during a doctor of pharmacy course.
METHODS
Students were given access to online quizzes with a large pool of randomly selected questions specific to upcoming examination content. Quizzes were electronically scored immediately upon completion and students were provided corrective feedback.
RESULTS
Examination scores following implementation of the practice quizzes were significantly higher in all but the last testing period. The upper fiftieth percentile of students scored higher on both the practice quizzes and subsequent examinations in all but the fourth testing period.
CONCLUSIONS
Providing pharmacy students with self-testing opportunities could increase their retention of course material and provide feedback to both students and educators regarding learning, as well as provide students with a measure of their metacognition.
目的
确定学生自我测试是否能提高药学博士课程期间的成绩。
方法
让学生能够使用在线测验，这些测验有大量针对即将到来的考试内容随机选取的问题。测验完成后立即进行电子评分，并为学生提供纠正反馈。
结果
除最后一个测试阶段外，实施练习测验后的考试成绩在所有阶段都显著更高。除第四个测试阶段外，成绩排名前50%的学生在练习测验和后续考试中的得分都更高。
结论
为药学专业学生提供自我测试机会可以提高他们对课程材料的记忆，为学生和教育工作者提供有关学习的反馈，还能让学生对自己的元认知有一定的认识。
