Abstract
A daily quiz on Newtonian biomechanics has previously been shown to improve student self-confidence, enthusiasm, and test results in biomechanics courses. This study investigated whether such a quiz could also improve retention of knowledge over a longer term. Our study found that students who participated very actively in daily quizzes scored significantly better on a retention test compared to those who participated less actively or not at all. From these results, we can conclude that very active participation in a daily quiz resulted in a slight gain in the long-term retention of biomechanics knowledge.
期刊介绍：
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
