Abstract

This presentation introduces a format for multiple choice questions (MCQ), implicit in which, are measures of student confidence. We will initially outline the MCQ protocol and the active learning framework in which we first used this type of question. We will then discuss the analysis of our results and how they feed into a wider HEFCE funded study which aims to “pilot and evaluate measures of learning gain” in higher education.
