Cognitive Difficulty and Format of Exams Predicts Gender and Socioeconomic Gaps in Exam Performance of Students in Introductory Biology Courses
Recent reform efforts in undergraduate biology have recommended transforming course exams to test at more cognitively challenging levels, which may mean including more cognitively challenging and more constructed-response questions on assessments. However, changing the characteristics of exams could result in bias against historically underserved groups. In this study, we examined whether and t...
متن کاملRelationships between preclinical course grades and standardized exam performance.
Success in residency matching is largely contingent upon standardized exam scores. Identifying predictors of standardized exam performance could promote primary intervention and lead to design insights for preclinical courses. We hypothesized that clinically relevant courses with an emphasis on higher-order cognitive understanding are most strongly associated with performance on United States M...
متن کاملCourse Syllabus Format
This course covers the basic concepts in system theory: stock and flow, positive and negative feedback. It also discusses logistic growth with carrying capacity, oscillation in linear systems, limit cycle and chaos in nonlinear systems. After learning the simulation software, systems in six different areas will be discussed: physical systems, engineering systems, chemical/biological systems, ec...
متن کاملQuestion Difficulty Estimation in Community Question Answering Services
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating question difficulty in community question answering services. We propose a competition-based model for estimating question difficulty by leveraging pairwise comparisons between questions and users. Our experimental results show that our model significantly outperforms a PageRank-based approach. Most importantly, our analysis shows that the tex...
متن کاملInformation Acquisition for Decision Making: Question Difficulty
The problem of optimal decision making in environments characterized with both uncertainty and presence of information sources is considered in a general setting. This motivates searching for quantitative measures of question difficulty that would allow for maximizing the effect of additional information the information sources are capable of supplying. In this article, the concept of question ...
