The Shift in Assessment: Why the TVET Sector Can’t Afford to Wait
AI is transforming education—but unless the TVET sector accelerates adoption, it risks falling behind in preparing learners for an increasingly AI-driven workforce.
Time and time again, scientific evidence has shown that learning is maximal when accompanied with high quality feedback. And when this feedback is instant, the learning sticks!
Student outcomes are even more enhanced when instant feedback is given during retrieval practice, something that sAInaptic's revision app is grounded in!
It is the act of actively recalling information that has been previously 'learned'.
Decades of research by cognitive scientists has shown that:
Retrieval practice using multiple choice questions works well but practicing on exam style open-ended questions that require constructed answers really helps improve scientific oracy, long term retention of scientific concepts and transfer of learning (ability to apply concepts from one field to another).
In school:
At home:
Retrieval practice will only ever work if students are encouraged to actively think, recall and apply knowledge previously learned. sAInaptic offers a range of questions carefully designed to cover simple recalling of facts to more complex application of concepts such that practising on sAInaptic improves overall cognition. Each session only consists of 5 exam-style open-ended questions so the revision is focused and engaging.
