The impact of feedback during formative testing on study behaviour and performance of (bio)medical students: a randomised controlled study

摘要

BackgroundA potential concern of formative testing using web-based applications (“apps”) is provision of limited feedback. Adopting a randomised controlled trial in 463 first year (bio) medical students, we explored if providing immediate, detailed feedback during “app”-based formative testing can further improve study behaviour and study performance of (bio)medical students.
