How Expectation of Questioning Method Affects Undergraduates' Preparation for Class.

McDougall, Dennis; Granby, Cheryl

Journal of Experimental Education, v65 n1 p43-54 Fall 1996

Results of a study with 40 undergraduates indicate that those who expected that the instructor would call on them at random completed more assignments, recalled more from the assignments, and had more confidence in their recall. Results suggest the importance of in-class questioning methods for student accountability. (SLD)
