Using the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT) for Non-Assessments: Student Perceptions and Performance
Kennette, Lynne N.; McGuckin, Dawn
Psychology Teaching Review, v24 n2 p64-69 2018
This paper examines an experiment conducted at a 2-year college with non-majors. The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT) is a cross between a lottery scratch ticket and a scantron form which was designed to replace scantrons (EpsteinEducation.com). Using the IFAT in an unconventional way (reviewing class material), we expected to find significant differences in students' final grades with the IFAT group out-performing the control group (who reviewed class material by re-reading their notes). Our hypothesis was confirmed. Additionally, formal student feedback on the use of this weekly activity was overwhelmingly positive, suggesting the activity is seen by students as a worthwhile undertaking
