Improving Student Feedback Literacy in e-Assessments: A Framework for the Higher Education Context

Abstract

For students, feedback received from their instructors can make a big difference in their learning by translating their assessment performance into future learning opportunities. To date, researchers have proposed various feedback literacy frameworks, which concern one’s ability to interpret and use feedback for their learning, to promote students’ feedback engagement by repositioning them as active participants in the learning process. However, the current feedback literacy frameworks have not been adapted to digital or e-Assessment settings despite the increasing use of e-Assessments (e.g., computer-based tests, intelligent tutoring systems) in practice. To address this gap, this conceptual paper introduces a feedback literacy model in the context of e-Assessments to present an intersection between e-Assessment features and the ecological model of feedback literacy for more effective feedback practices in digital learning environments. This paper could serve as a guideline to improve feedback effectiveness and its perceived value in e-Assessment to enhance student feedback literacy.

Enhancing questioning skills through child avatar chatbot training with feedback

“…Research on online learner engagement is still in its infancy and deserves consideration when developing and evaluating the efficiency of online learning resources to achieve high learning attainment ( Lee et al, 2021 ). The applications of AI (i.e., machine learning and natural language processing) are being increasingly employed in educational feedback practices to evaluate performance in real time and produce personalized feedback ( Wongvorachan and Bulut, 2022 ). With respect to the current technology, tools for training investigative interviewing skills should aim for automatic and immediate detailed feedback on the core skills, such as questioning.…”

Digital Tools for Collecting Feedback Effectively

“…Feedback is a key element in the gradual process of continuous learning and assessment. Providing timely and ongoing feedback helps the student reflect on their learning and their learning strategies so that they can make adjustments for better learning progress [1].…”
