A question that I often get as a microbiology instructor for an undergraduate medical laboratory science (MLS) program is "What do I need to know for the exam?". Students often seem to focus more "getting an A" rather than striving to master course content that they will need to know to become entry-level competent as an MLS. As an educator, I am interested implementing activities that encourage students to adopt a mastery orientation vs a performance orientation. One activity I have recently implemented in an effort to promote mastery orientation and intrinsic motivation is the Exam Wrapper. After taking each exam, students reflect on ways they prepared for the exam (amount of time spent preparing, type of resources used, etc.) and how they could better prepare for future exams. I'm hoping this intentional reflection will help to foster intrinsic motivation and reinforce a mastery mindset by way of increasing students' metacognition.
