This study explores students’ behavior in response to a study-learning system during one semester at university, based on the certainty-based marking strategy. The learning support system pursues to encourage diagnostic formative self-assessment. In total, 258 students complete the full study program and respond to an additional sociodemographic questionnaire. An exploratory study was performed. Two individual variables were considered for basic statistical analysis: gender and prior academic experience. Results show progression of students’ confident responses, especially by the third trial. No differences were found with respect to gender. In contrast, strong differences were found related to prior academic experience. These latter results must be taken carefully, in expectance of further research to look for connections with other individual variables.

This exploratory study presents data from various curricular areas in Higher Education: Primary Teacher Education, Secondary Teacher Education, Psychobiology, Microeconomics, Art History and Law. In all these areas, the instructors implement the same instructional program during a one-semester module to improve students' self-regulated learning behaviour. The project had two main goals: (1) enhancing students' learning engagement through certainty-based self-assessment and (2) researching the metacognitive and affective (motivational and emotional) implications of such instructional program in students' learning behaviour. Over 1000 students participate in these courses, responding to three progressive (discipline-related) multiple-choice online learning tests with a knowledge-certainty component at three different moments during one semester, incorporating the certainty-based marking (CBM). Certainty declaration activates deep metacognitive and emotional processes. We implemented the testing system in these courses only with a diagnostic and formative purpose. After each testing point, students responded to an accompanying reflection questionnaire that allowed the collection of their emotional reactions in a Likert-scale form. The students manifested positive/negative and activating/deactivating retrospective emotions (joy, pride, sadness, shame, anger) and prospective emotions (hope, boredom, indifference, fear, anxiety) in relation to the certainty-based self-assessment experience. Results indicate that the certainty-based self-assessment program triggered all of these emotions in different amounts. These results are positive news concerning the students' engagement in learning and particularly motivated self-regulated learning. This paper presents preliminary results concerning the students' emotional experience with this innovative diagnostic self-assessment program. Differences and similarities between areas and educational levels are exposed. The main result points to similarities outweighing differences.

This book contains the full text of papers and posters presented at the International Conference on Education and New Developments (END 2023), organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (WIARS).Education is a fundamental right that accompanies us from the very beginning of our lives. It encompasses every experience we encounter, influencing and shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Whether we engage in formal education within classrooms or learn from the world around us, the process of acquiring knowledge plays a vital role in our personal growth and development. It equips us with the tools to navigate the complexities of life, broadens our perspectives, and empowers us to make informed decisions. This International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the processes, actions, challenges and outcomes of learning, teaching and human development. Our goal is to offer a worldwide connection between teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields, interested in exploring and giving their contribution in educational issues.We have brought together a diverse group of individuals with various backgrounds to contribute their unique perspectives and knowledge on Education. By including people from different nationalities and cultures, we aim to create a rich plethora of experiences that can broaden our understanding of human nature and behavior. The exchange of ideas and experiences among our participants helps to cultivate personal and academic development, providing a platform for the exploration of new insights and discoveries.END 2023 received 758 submissions, from more than 45 different countries, reviewed by a double-blind process. Submissions were prepared to take form of Oral Presentations, Posters, Virtual Presentations and Workshops. The conference accepted for presentation 279 submissions (37% acceptance rate).
