What is the purpose of prerequisite tests with degrees of certainty?
The principle of prerequisite tests with degrees of certainty aims to establish a process of self-assessment and self-regulation. This is achieved by asking the student to provide an answer to each question using the true/false distinction, while also assigning a degree of certainty to that answer. The percentages associated with these degrees of certainty reflect the student's confidence level in their answer:
- 50%: I don't know the correct answer, and I chose randomly.
- 60%: I am very uncertain.
- 70%: I am uncertain.
- 80%: I am fairly certain.
- 90%: I am almost certain.
- 100%: I am entirely certain.
Additional information advises on the relevance of the choice:
- If you don't know the correct answer, check the 50% certainty level but still answer. This means you chose randomly.
- If you check 100%, it indicates that you are entirely sure of your answer.
- Otherwise, choose an intermediate percentage.
This questioning process encourages reflection on what one knows, how one knows it, and why one knows it. It serves as the starting point for learning metacognition, which is the ability to know oneself and optimize one's own learning capabilities. In summary, it is a way to encourage students to become aware of their knowledge, uncertainties, and to develop a reflective approach to improve their understanding and learning skills.
