Spacing and Self-testing impact on URM students study discussion

in the regression-Maintaining spacing vs. never using spacing (in both years) positively predicted the course outcome and the same is true for self testing in year 2 but adopting spacing or self testing did not increase the final grade
The racial achievement gap was diminished when looking at self-testing, illustrating that it is important to provide URM with guidance on how to most effectively study
The reasoning behind why implementing the strategies perhaps wasn’t successful is because students need time to practice new study strategies
Condensing course notes is also positively correlated with higher course grades
Utilizing flashcards is negatively correlated with course grades because students do not always use them right-if used correctly, they can be a method to self-test and can help spacing studying
