Test-based pedagogy functions best when a larger group needs to achieve or update basic levels of knowledge. The course follows a logical structure where the knowledge is introduced, contextualized, repeated and then tested.
The different parts of the course vary depending on the course content, but the intention is always to thoroughly cover the relevant material and then test the user’s understanding of it. Test-based pedagogy creates results that are easy to measure since all tests and courses produce material for statistical comparisons.
