Mastering Anxiety: The Effect of Mastery-Based Testing on Quantitative Literacy College Students’ Anxiety Levels and Mindsets Nic Garzone, Oklahoma State University
Abstract: In this talk, I will describe the implementation of Mastery-based testing (MBT) in a university quantitative literacy class using a web-based homework system. Qualitative evidence in the form of student comments showed that quantitative literacy students preferred MBT because it reduced their stress levels and was perceived as substantially different from traditional assessment. Students’ differentiation of assessments based solely on nomenclature was an unexpected and significant finding in this pilot study.
