@yamada___asuka: In a lecture course for undergraduates that used to be graded by a paper test, once we made it âbring your own paper testâ, the highest score and the average score The reality is that âknowledge is good if you check it when it is necessaryâ. In reality, it was not a case of âyou can look up knowledge when you need it, you donât need to memorize itâ. @yamada__asuka: I was wondering if âbring your ownâ was allowed, the peaks of the score distribution would be higher around the mean, and the base in the direction of low scores would be smaller. I thought it would make the mean score higher and the base of the distribution of scores lower. However, when the average score, and even the highest score, drops, I can no longer judge that âbring your ownâ has a reasonable educational effect.
@yamada__asuka: @HandsomeKinoko We gave them A3 paper and allowed them to bring in a summary they made using the reverse side as they liked. The questions were about knowledge and its application. The questions were: (1) Explanation of terms, (2) Organization of historical background, (3) Proposal of a plan under certain conditions, and (3) Higher ratio of (3) when students were allowed to bring their own papers. The order of emphasis on knowledge is (1) > (2) > (3). However, the percentage of correct answers for (1) also dropped. https://t.co/fmFt6Se73x
Well, of course it depends on the design of the test. I thought you meant that âhaving written knowledge at handâ and âbeing able to utilize knowledgeâ are two different things. The student did not understand this and assumed that he/she could answer the questions without preparation by bringing in a textbook or something with the answers written on it.
- But it didnât.
- If it is true that âif you have a textbook at hand, you can use itâ, then you donât have to go to college and buy textbooks.
Maybe different mental models about learning.

When you think itâs âowning knowledge,â you think itâs OK to own a book of written knowledge.
-
Correct: âTrain them to retrieve knowledge as needed.â
-
Is the former image attached to the test because of the fact that elementary through high school tests are not allowed to be brought in?

[Duplicating knowledge from a book in your brain does not lead to value.

This case was not even copied.
