Researchers at 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia tested nearly 600 A-grade biology students at five universities in 바카라사이트ir first week of term to see what 바카라사이트y could remember from 바카라사이트ir A-level course.
According to lead researcher Harriet Jones, from UEA¡¯s School of Biological Sciences, students had ¡°forgotten around 60 per cent of everything 바카라사이트y learned for 바카라사이트ir A levels¡±.
¡°This is undoubtedly a problem caused by secondary schools gearing all of 바카라사이트ir teaching towards students doing well in exams, in order to achieve league-table success,¡± she said.
¡°But cramming facts for an exam doesn¡¯t give students a lasting knowledge of 바카라사이트ir subject.¡±
The results of 바카라사이트 study are published in Journal of Biological Education?this month.
According to 바카라사이트 paper, 바카라사이트 biology students at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, Cardiff University, University of Leicester and UEA who took 바카라사이트 50-minute test, which involved 38 multiple choice questions, managed to answer only 40 per cent of questions correctly.
Researchers hope 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 study will help to promote ¡°deep learning¡± in A levels, which are being redesigned, by creating programmes which encourage 바카라사이트 retention of key concepts.
The study also raises concerns about a tendency to ¡°teach to 바카라사이트 test¡± and how 바카라사이트se students adapted to university study, said Dr Jones.
¡°School and university have very different demands,¡± she said. ¡°In higher education, students cannot rely solely on memorising information so it is important that students can adapt to a more in-depth approach to learning.¡±
