An advantage of the retrospective pre-test model is that it can assist in addressing some of the gaps exposed by the lack of range-of-transfer of learning metrics provided by a Level 2 analysis of learners: in effect – to borrow a phrase from Jens Bjornavold – “make learning visible” (2004, p.64). This is essential, because [...]
