How do Students Perceived Computerized Feedback as Effective?

Abstract

Feedback plays an important role in fostering deep learning. It is widely recognized as one of the most powerful influences on students' learning. Meanwhile, timeliness is one of the important elements for feedback to be effective. In line with the technology development, the trend of feedback delivery has been shifted from conventional written and oral feedback to computerized feedback. It can be planned and delivered to students in a timely manner. To fully utilize the advantage of computerized feedback, students' views should be taken into account. This study investigated students' perception on computerized feedback through semi-structured interviews. From the results, seven themes were identified: (1) Meaning, (2) Content, (3) Comprehensibility, (4) Usefulness, (5) Timeliness, (6) Emotion, and (7) Attention. The findings of this study emphasize the needs for understanding students' perceptions of computerized feedback to maximize its role in improving students' performance.

Online course feedback comments clustering via document similarity

“…Feedback is information provided to a student related to their skills or demonstrated performance during the completion of a task, usually after instruction (Hattie and Timperley, 2007). Feedback has been identified as a factor that can influence student performance (Fui and Lian, 2018;Martínez and Vargas, 2014;Uribe and Vaughan, 2017;Wisniewski et al, 2020) by allowing the students to identify what they need to achieve success according to what is expected of them, self-evaluating their learning and thinking on their actions and consequences, allowing them to reach goals and objectives. Likewise, it has been identified that little or ineffective feedback can lead to school dropout (Wisniewski et al, 2020).…”

Developing computer-assisted formative feedback in the light of resource theory: A case on heat concept

“…Nahadi, Firman and Farina (2015) reported that students became enthusiastic, motivated, and more active in learning after being given feedback. As a result, feedback would make students learn a topic indepth (Fui & Lian, 2018).…”
