Using Replication Studies as Student Assessment in Psychology Education

By

AuthorWill Gervais

1mo ago· 16 min readenInsight

Summary

This article describes an innovative educational approach where student assessment involves conducting a replication study of a highly-cited psychology paper (with ~1900 citations from a top journal). Students first analyze the original paper using a THAMES framework, make predictions about replication outcomes, then participate in an online survey replication study with a much larger sample size. The data is posted online for students to analyze using skills taught in the course. The article discusses the pedagogical value of using replication as a form of assessment in psychology education.
