Suppose that I performed a latent-class analysis on several "true-false" questions designed to measure students' engagement with school. I got the results presented in the table below:
Survey Questions 1. I usually pay close attention in class. 2. I participate often in class discussions. 3. I always bring my materials (book, pencils, paper) to class. 4. I’m often excited to be in class. 5. I often talk with my friends and parents about ideas we learn about in school. 6. I almost always turn in my homework and other assignments on time. Class 1(n=42)30%.92.45.24.77.85.35 Class 2(n=58)41%.2575.88.14.32.92 Class 3(n=40)29%.78.72.83.63.61.45 a. How would you describe these three latent classes?
Testing Effect
Enhanced memory after retrieving, rather than simply rereading, information. Also referred to as a retrieval practice effect or test-enhanced learning.
Enhanced Memory
The improvement in the capacity to recall or recognize information due to various factors like emotions or techniques.
Distributed Practice
A learning strategy that spreads study activities over time, as opposed to cramming them into a single session, enhancing long-term memory retention.
Long-Term Recall
The ability to remember information over extended periods of time, ranging from days to decades.
