Improving student attendance: does it improve student learning? (The scholarship of teaching and learning).
Abstract
This study explores whether students with better class attendance perform better on assessment instruments. The relationship between test performance and student learning was also assessed. Students' attendance records were compared to their test scores on objective tests. The students also demonstrated their knowledge of course content on a comprehensive question that was unannounced so students could not study for it. The results show that student test performance is better when class attendance is better and that students with better attendance demonstrate more knowledge of the course material.
