Abstract

The benefits of tests as aids to retention learning, beyond their primary evaluation function, have been studied in a variety of settings. This study sought to isolate the effects of take-home tests within a technology education context. The investigation involved instruction via self-paced texts, initial testing of learning, and delayed testing three weeks later. The delayed tests provided the experimental data for the study.
