Effects of Noncontent Variables on Mathematics Test Performance.
Hembree, Ray
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v18 n3 p197-214 May 1987
Results of 120 studies were combined by meta-analysis to determine effects on mathematics test performance of factors other than knowledge of content. Conditions that enhanced performance included testwiseness training, praise, word problem pictures, and frequent testing. Conditions depressing or not affecting performance were also noted. (MNS)
