Abstract

A daily quiz on Newtonian biomechanics has previously been shown to improve student self-confidence, enthusiasm, and test results in biomechanics courses. This study investigated whether such a quiz could also improve retention of knowledge over a longer term. Our study found that students who participated very actively in daily quizzes scored significantly better on a retention test compared to those who participated less actively or not at all. From these results, we can conclude that very active participation in a daily quiz resulted in a slight gain in the long-term retention of biomechanics knowledge.

积极参与每日测验（TOPday）是否能提高生物力学的长期学习效果？

牛顿生物力学的每日小测验已经被证明可以提高学生在生物力学课程中的自信、热情和测试结果。这项研究调查了这样的测验是否也能在更长的时间内提高知识的记忆力。我们的研究发现，与那些不太积极或根本不积极参与的学生相比，积极参与日常测验的学生在记忆测试中的得分明显更高。从这些结果中，我们可以得出这样的结论:非常积极地参与每天的测试，可以在生物力学知识的长期记忆中获得轻微的收益。

期刊介绍： The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
