  1. The role of the assessment system in the relation between learning and performance Rob Kickert1, Karen Stegers-Jager2, Marieke Meeuwisse1, Lidia Arends1,3, Peter Prinzie1 1Department of Psychology, Education & Child Studies (DPECS) 2Institute of Medical Education Research Rotterdam (IMERR) 3Department of Biostatistics, Erasmus MC

  3. Model SRL, participation & Performance Stegers-Jager et al. (2012)

  4. Methods • Setting: Erasmus MC medical school, old (conjunctive) assessment • system vs. new (compensatory) assessment system • Participants: 2 cohorts first-yearconjunctivestudents (N = 648) vs. 2 cohortsfirst-yearcompensatory-students(N = 529) • Instrument: 8 subscalesMotivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ1;2)+ items on participation3+ average grade for 9 first-year tests (≥7 grades)3 • Analyses: Mean differences: MANOVAStructural model: Multi-group Structural Equation Modelling 1Pintrich et al., 1993 2Blom & Severiens, 20083Stegers-Jager, Cohen-Schotanus & Themmen, 2012

  5. RQ1: mean differences in SRL, participation and performance? 4.66 < 4.89 4.27 < 4.60 4.63 < 4.91 6.06 < 6.57 Year 1 average grade 5.77 < 5.93 4.91 < 5.33 4.89 < 5.08 Legend: - Old- New-Significant difference 4.69 < 4.78 4.58 < 4.84

  6. RQ2: similarstructural relations? Model fit:χ2 = 354.835, CFI = .947, SRMR = .048, RMSEA = .044 * p < .001; † p < .05

  7. Conclusions • Are mean SRL, participation and performance different under the new assessmentsystem, compared to the old system? A. Highergradesunder N=N: assessment drives learning(operant & cognitive)B. Motivation, learningstrategies & participationgenerallyhigherunder new assessment system • Have the relations between SRL, participation and performance remained the same under the new assessmentsystem? • Similarassociationsunderboth assessment systems  Same behavior is relatedto performance • Overall: Higher performance not explained by different relations, but by higher SRL & participation

  8. In short • Never underestimate the power of testing
