{"pk":29656,"title":"Investigating the Benefits of Pre-Questions on Lecture-Based Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Prior laboratory research has shown the positive benefits of answering pre-questions on learning. Specifically, pre-questions have been shown to increase learning from subsequent pre-questioned material presented either in a readingor in a lecture format compared to a non-pre-questioned group. However, it is not yet clear whether these learning bene-fits translate into larger lecture-based classrooms and whether they can facilitate transfer to non-pre-questioned material.Moreover, there are few classroom studies, utilizing pre-questions, that explore these effects. We investigated the effectof pre-questions on learning during a large lecture course. Students who received pre-questions performed better on endof lecture quiz questions compared to students who did not receive pre-questions. Consistent with prior laboratory andclassroom studies, this effect was primarily for the pre-questioned information and there was no immediate effect onnon-pre-questioned information. We discuss the implications of the results for theories of learning and applications toeducation.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Session 1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wt8g24x","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Quentin","middle_name":"","last_name":"King-Shepard","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Kelly","middle_name":"","last_name":"Boden","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Amy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Adelman","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Timothy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nokes-Malach","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Shana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Carpenter","name_suffix":"","institution":"Iowa State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29656/galley/19513/download/"}]}
