The increasing prominence of neoliberal agendas in international higher education has led to greater weight being ascribed student satisfaction, and the national surveys through which students evaluate courses study. In this article, we focus on evaluation feedback processes. Rather than transmission information from teacher student, recognition fundamental role learner seeking, generating, using is evident recent literature. Through an analysis framing survey items 10 satisfaction surveys,...

Introduction This study focuses on what choices in assessments students want to make order enhance their motivation. A flexible assessment can students’ perceived autonomy and thereby contribute more intrinsic motivation for working these tasks. Autonomy is than offering choices, rather it about the that actually experience. An increase of leads fun learning deeper learning. Providing during -also referred as assessments- tasks has not been researched extensively. Research topic student...

Four experiments investigated whether the testing effect also applies to acquisition of problem-solving skills from worked examples. Experiment 1 (n = 120) showed no beneficial effects consisting isomorphic problem solving or example recall on final test performance, which consisted solving, compared continued study 2 124) identical restudying an example. Interestingly, participants who took both immediate and a delayed outperformed those taking only test. This finding suggested that might...

Summary Although there is a large body of evidence for the utility particular study strategies such as retrieval practice and distributed memory‐enhancing instruments, they are seldom used by learners in educational practice. Thus far, research on use these has focused only undergraduate university students, oftentimes investigating set predefined strategies. The question, thus, remains whether results generalisable to secondary school students. present first explore different With an open...

The authors explored whether a testing effect occurs not only for retention of facts but also application principles and procedures. For that purpose, 38 high school students either repeatedly studied text on probability calculations or the text, took test content, restudied finally second time. Results show leads to better than restudying, acquired knowledge (i.e., procedures) in statistics. In other words, seems benefit fact retention, positively affects deeper learning.

This research aims to promote our understanding of feedback engagement processes in writing tasks using a combination online and offline measures, including eye-tracking, thinking-aloud, text-analyses. Study 1 explored how sixteen students read, evaluate, use for revision. Results revealed three processing strategies: (1) superficial (n = 6), which is characterized by reading linear way, without critically rereading or revising the text, (2) local 6) switched between comments commented (3)...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine what good coaching during design-based learning (DBL) entails by integrating theoretical and practical perspectives on coaching. For purpose, a grounded theory approach was used. the perspective, themes were derived from qualitative observing interviewing teachers students involved in DBL project. we consulted analyzed literature scaffolding, feedback, formative assessment problem-based sciences studio model arts design literature....

Rubrics are often used as tools for criteria-based assessments. Although students indicate that they appreciate comments given feedback which make reference to the rubric and provided in addition it, there is little information on how this type of actually differs from in-text with respect focus, level, function feedback. The focus refers three major questions evaluating students’ understanding information: Where am I going? How next? That is, feedup, feedback, feedforward. level at...

Abstract The use of computer-based tests (CBTs), for both formative and summative purposes, has greatly increased over the past years. One major advantage CBTs is easy integration multimedia. It unclear, though, how to design such CBT environments with purpose current study was examine whether guidelines designing multimedia instruction based on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) Multimedia Learning (CTML) will yield similar effects in CBT. In a within-subject design, thirty-three vocational...

Peer feedback can be an effective learning aid. However, providing peer so that it is used by the receiver, very difficult. Adding requests to process may improve quality of feedback. little known about how affect responses. In this study, fifty-four students in two master programs asked each other on their thesis and return, provided Their were related predominantly global-level (versus local-level) text issues. Peers' responses contained significantly more positive evaluation, explanation...

Effective feedback is a powerful educational intervention to support learning. Hattie and Timperley have developed model in which they define three different functions four levels of feedback. Although the widely used practice, there little known about how education nor optimal distribution types In current case study, we an explanatory sequential mixed method design investigate lecturers use its can be optimized. For this, 349 comments from 22 were analysed, 5 experts participated focus...

Goal achievement is a measure of success; this could be particularly true in Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC), which are approached by massive audience with an enormous variety needs. However, MOOC one unlikely to find solutions allow students pursue their individual goals and achieve them. Inspired implementation intention theory strategy games we have developed the first prototype game element Stimulated Planning (SP) will enable users goals.

Non-completion is an ongoing concern in higher education, and even more so online education. One way to address this problem take initiatives prior student enrollment, enabling informed decision making. In line with this, institution for open education seeks develop a (non-committal) self-assessment prospective students. To identify variables (tests) be included self-assessment, the present study aims at validating variables–previously identified as “predictive of completion intervention...

Educational tests often combine text and images in items. Research shows that including test items can influence response accuracy, termed the Multimedia Effect Testing. This effect suggests using pictures enhance student performance reduce perception of item difficulty. As such, Testing could validity. However, research this area has produced varied conflicting results, which may be partly attributed to functionality used. Besides, many studies only offer test-level data, making it...

Informed study decisions are pivotal for student retention in higher online education.A self-assessment prior to enrolment has been proposed as a promising approach enable informed decision-making and build resources retention.To determine whether such affects the process intended, thorough careful validation is necessity.This reports on two validity aspects that less commonly addressed respect, but essential evaluating effectiveness: response processes consequences of (self-) testing.To map...

The current study investigated the role of trust in students' attitudes towards personal data sharing context e-assessment, and whether this is different for students with special educational needs disabilities (SEND). SEND were included as a target group because they may feel more dependent on e-assessment technologies, thus, easily consent to sharing. A mixed methods research design was adopted combining an online survey focus interview collect quantitative qualitative data. findings...
