Effects of Testlike Events on On-Task Behavior, Test Anxiety, and Achievement in a Classroom Rule-Learning Task.
McKenzie, Gary R.; Henry, Mixon
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n3 p370-74 Jun 1979
The effects of questions on attention and achievement were studied. Children were exposed to the same lesson and questions. Control subjects were called upon randomly, and experimental subjects were asked to indicate responses to every question with a nonverbal gesture. Questions addressed to individuals were less effective than questions used as testlike events. (Author/RD)
