Description

The exercise in multiple-choice test style was offered on the Web in advance of the term examination (a multiple-choice test followed by a written examination). Students' utilization and the effect of the explanations in the exercise on the written test have been investigated. According to the questionnaire investigation, most students utilized the materials by printing out the html file in which questions, answers and explanations were given on the same page. Many students took advantage of the exercise to understand the tendency of the questions. In the on-line term examinations, the correct answers and the explanations were sent to the examinees with their scores for preparation for the following written test. Then six questions were asked again in the written test. However, students could not make the best use of these explanations. Some improvements were observed in the questions which could be answered just by "memorizing" items. On the other hand, such improvements were not clearly observed in the questions which required the students to explain the principle based on the essential understanding. These facts suggest that an effective utilization of the materials strongly depend on students' eagerness to study.
