Abstract

In this investigation, daily quizzes were used as a means of improving student performance on science exams. A variety of daily quizzes were utilized throughout the research including multiple choice, free response, matching, true/false and fill in the blanks with the purpose of measuring student learning and retention while providing the teacher with an immediate feedback on student learning. Performance in tests showed a significant improvement when daily quizzes were used, which demonstrated that daily quizzes do have a positive effect on student performance in science exams.
