Outline of Final Research Achievements

The review test developed in our laboratory has done in the class of elementary physics for several years. It has been verified based on test data that the review test is effective for retention of basic knowledge. Although the review test had been done as paper test so far, in this study, it was implemented on the Moodle system in server computer. However, the function of students’ reflection on their test results was also implemented in it. The learning effect of the Moodle-based new review test system was investigated by using a pretest and posttest. It was verified that the Moodle based review test was more effective for the retention of the basic knowledge than the previous paper-based review test. Moreover, difference of cognition to academic attitude between each the learning units became clear by making analysis of the massive amount of text data of the students’ reflection by using the method of a text mining.
