Studies have demonstrated that utilizing spacing (spreading out study sessions at regular intervals) and self-testing strategies are optimal for learning. While some applied work has examined the relationship between these strategies on general academic achievement, there is still a need to explore how both spacing and self-testing are related to course-level learning outcomes. The goal of this study was to examine whether utilizing spacing and self-testing strategies was related to final course grade. Participants were asked to report the study strategies they utilized during the course. We found no relationship between using spacing strategies and final course grade. However, self-testing was significantly related to higher final course grades. The relationship between self-testing and final course grade remained significant even after accounting for demographic differences and prior academic achievement. Our results suggest that self-testing strategies can enhance learning even in a highly structured c...

间隔和自我测试能预测学习结果吗？

研究表明，利用间隔（定期展开学习课程）和自我测试策略是学习的最佳选择。虽然一些应用工作已经研究了这些策略与一般学业成绩之间的关系，但仍然需要探索间隔和自我测试与课程级学习成果之间的关系。这项研究的目的是检查利用间隔和自测策略是否与最终课程成绩有关。参与者被要求报告他们在课程中使用的学习策略。我们发现使用间隔策略和最终课程成绩之间没有关系。然而，自我测试与更高的最终课程成绩显着相​​关。即使考虑了人口差异和先前的学业成绩，自我测试和最终课程成绩之间的关系仍然显着。我们的结果表明，即使在高度结构化的环境中，自我测试策略也可以增强学习...
