Abstract
Background: Metacognition can assist students in improving poor examination (exam) performance. An exam wrapper is a metacognitive tool used to assess a student's thought processes and behavioral patterns during test-taking.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an exam wrapper tool used during one-to-one exam review sessions with faculty on prelicensure nursing students' subsequent exam performance.
Methods: Paired t -tests and repeated measures ANOVA were used to compare undergraduate students' (n = 91) exam scores before and after an exam review session with faculty in which the exam wrapper tool was used.
Results: Students who completed a one-to-one exam review session with faculty using the exam wrapper showed significant improvement in subsequent exam scores.
Conclusions: Use of an exam wrapper tool as part of a one-to-one exam review session with faculty is a viable way to leverage metacognition to improve student exam performance.
背景：元认知可以帮助学生改善糟糕的考试（考场）表现。目的：本研究旨在确定在与教师一对一的考试复习课程中使用的考试包装工具对执照前护理专业学生随后考试成绩的影响：方法：采用配对 t 检验和重复测量方差分析，比较本科生（n = 91）在与教师进行考试复习会（其中使用了考试包装工具）前后的考试成绩：结果：使用考试包装工具与教师进行一对一考试复习的学生在随后的考试成绩中有显著提高：使用考试包装工具作为与教师一对一考试复习的一部分，是利用元认知提高学生考试成绩的可行方法。
