Testing is topic of Bluffton Colloquium
Amanda Sensenig, assistant professor of psychology at Bluffton University, will discuss her dissertation research on multiple-choice testing at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5, in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall. The colloquium is free and open to the public.
The presentation will focus on test taking and whether it can help improve memory for the specific areas of information being tested. Sensenig will outline research she did at Colorado State University, as well as some related general findings that others have published.
"I am hoping that by talking about this, I will encourage people to see tests differently-most people think of them as assessment tools, but they can be used as a way to learn information as well," Sensenig explained. "I give multiple-choice tests in some of my classes and I am certainly not opposed to them, but I am interested in whether and how we can get more out of them from an educational standpoint."
