BACKGROUND
Students often question whether changing answers on multiple choice examinations correlates with an increase or decrease in their grades.
METHOD
In a mixed-methods study, 135 prelicensure nursing students were surveyed. The answer response forms were reviewed for erasures. Qualitative data were obtained through content analysis of two questions. Quantitative analysis was performed to explore the relationships among students' self-reported grade performance, test-anxiety levels, and how often they changed answers.
RESULTS
The themes of Risk, Careless Mistakes, Adequate Preparation, Instinct, and Cues From the Test were identified when students were asked their opinion on changing answers. The themes of Indecisiveness, Test Review, and Rationale emerged when students were asked why they changed answers. Students who reported being somewhat anxious had a greater tendency to change answers. Answers were changed from incorrect to correct 55.6% of the time.
CONCLUSION
On average, changing answers resulted in a moderate increase in test scores.
背景
学生们常常质疑在多项选择题考试中更改答案是否会使成绩提高或降低。
方法
在一项混合方法研究中，对135名预执业护理专业学生进行了调查。审查答案答卷以查看擦除情况。通过对两个问题的内容分析获得定性数据。进行定量分析以探讨学生自我报告的成绩表现、考试焦虑水平以及他们更改答案的频率之间的关系。
结果
当询问学生对更改答案的看法时，确定了“风险”“粗心错误”“充分准备”“直觉”和“考试提示”等主题。当询问学生更改答案的原因时，出现了“犹豫不决”“检查试卷”和“理由”等主题。报告有些焦虑的学生更改答案的倾向更大。答案从错误改为正确的情况占55.6%。
结论
平均而言，更改答案会使考试成绩适度提高。
