Giuliodori, Mauricio J.; Lujan, Heidi L.; DiCarlo, Stephen E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2008
We used collaborative group testing in a veterinary physiology course (65 students) to test the hypothesis that all students (e.g., high-performing and low-performing students of each group) benefit from collaborative group testing. In this format, students answered questions in the traditional format as individuals. Immediately after completing…
