Title of project:
The Use of Quizzing in the Learning of Mathematics

Code:
RHW2122A

Supervisor: Dr. R. Wilson & Dr. M. Pugh
Project description:

Quizzing is an increasingly common tool being utilised in education, especially in online education. Research suggests that this approach can help with concentration, identify gaps in knowledge, build confidence and help learners retain information more effectively.
This project will investigate the effectiveness of quizzing in the context of mathematics. Potential avenues for the student undertaking the project to explore will include (but are not limited to):
• The cognitive science behind the concept of quizzing, and how the process of quizzing aligns to well known effective learning strategies.
• Exploring the advantages and dis-advantages of quizzing in mathematics.
• The impact of using quizzes in formative and summative assessments.
NOTE: Those interested in selecting this project are strongly encouraged to arrange to see the supervisors in order to discuss the project in further detail.
