Costs of Carrying Students to a Criterion Level of Competency in Physics.
Dressel, Ralph
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n3 p231-38 Mar 1983
Presents data on student performance in a competency-based, multiple-opportunity format physics course, indicating that costs are related to character of examination questions and comprehensional modes of students. Compares costs for single/multiple trial formats, showing that multiple-trial opportunity has lower costs and a higher yield of students at full competency level. (JN)
