Learn More By Studying or By The Assessment?

Do students learn more by studying for an assessment or by the assessment itself?

I tweeted this prospect, hoping to receive some feedback from educators and students alike.  I also reached out to a few teachers and kindly asked if they could incorporate the thought-provoking question to their students, perhaps as a Friday "ticket-out-the-door."

Personalized Assessments & Learning Animals

My 22-month old daughter plays a game on Momma's iPhone called "Animals".  It's a multiple-choice animal-identification game.  The game displays three-five different animals and asks for one animal to be identified.  The game rotates different animals each time.

What intrigued me most about this game is how the number of options fluctuates based on the performance of the student.  The student starts off selecting from two animals.  Once they have correctly answered three consecutive attempts, the game provides three animals to choose from.  This pattern continues, up to five animals.
