Abstract: After an initial learning period taking a practice test improves long-term retention compared with not taking a practice test. This testing effect finding has significant relevance for education, however, integrating retrieval practice effectively into teaching and learning activities presents challenges to educators in classroom situations. This paper extends previous research applying the Practice Testing Learning Framework (PTLF) to support teaching and learning using practice testing in the classroom with materials that range in complexity from understanding to problem-solving in electrical science. Findings from this study show the number of practice tests completed and overall engagement with practice tests had a significant impact on criterion test performance in the topics enhancing learning where practice tests were available and more effective than other techniques employed. The testing effect was evident with materials involving problem-solving and the authors recommend th e PTLF to integrate retrieval practice into teaching and learning activities. (More)
