Description
Summary:Structured oral examinations (SOEs) result in higher test scores than traditional written assessments, but there lacks reproducible quantitative evidence supporting knowledge acquisition and retention. A modified SOE—called the One2One—whereby students present prepared answers to an instructor was evaluated for effectiveness in large classes despite its resource-intensive nature. This study used a post-assessment survey (Efficacy Assessment Survey, EAS) to measure the effect of the One2One on knowledge acquisition and retention, as well as student perceptions of its usefulness and perceived value. The One2One helped students learn and retain content better than by didactic lecture alone as demonstrated by significantly higher scores on One2One content as compared to control content (p
