@powellpipern Hi Piper! From the data we have seen by measuring the level of student comprehension and retention on the concept related exam questions, students do better comprehend the information. We would definitely expect a discrepency in exam scores for those who undergo WTL or not.
UW-Platteville is using Writing To Learn as a STEM education tool. Studies have shown that applying a writing assignment to a courses' main concepts enhances student conceptual understanding. Our next step is better understanding the peer review process. #POH2020#POHGoesVirtual
@hains_liz Hi Liz! Thank you for taking the time to reach out. Yes, right now we are looking at other variables to be tested with the application of the peer review process. Having students undergo the peer review process or not, while still doing the writing assignment.
