Abstract
Two experiments were conducted with 24 fifth-grade students participating. In the first experiment, quiz performance with study guides was compared to quiz performance without study guides. The group whose students received study guides always scored higher than the group who did not receive study guides. Experiment II assessed the feasibility of students scoring their own study guides. The reliability of student scoring was found to be 93% over all study guides and there were no significant differences between “self-scored” and “teacher-scored” groups on the weekly quizzes.
Keywords: academic behavior, study guide effects, multiple baseline, teacher evaluation, self-evaluation, fifth-grade students
