test expectancy effect  

Définition

  • A phenomenon discovered by Meyer (1934). Pupils expecting to be tested with an essay have better performance in this kind of test and in a multiple-choice test compared to pupils expecting to be tested with a multiple-choice test. However, this effect has only been observed in laboratory studies, not in classrooms (Lundeberg & Fox, 1991).
