Abstract

ABSTRACT Our study aims to investigate whether engaging students with formative assessment and feedback activities could support students’ self-regulation, improve performance and improve satisfaction with assessment. The intervention designs are implemented using a novel framework, developed for staff reflection, derived from a self-regulation learning model and formative assessment and feedback principles. Zimmerman’s self-regulation model is chosen for a holistic approach, covering all Phases, to investigate the interventions within 3 honours level modules covering 483 students and 9 academic staff. Student views are obtained immediately following interventions from a short questionnaire and statistically analysed; semi-structured staff interviews are analysed thematically from NVivo. Significant improvement in students’ confidence and satisfaction with assessments occurs; evidence for improvement in performance and self-regulation is limited. Staff reflection areas are identified with suggestions for more effective feedforward strategies in support of self-regulation.

他们在采取行动吗？会计专业本科生对评估标准的参与与自律发展

摘要我们的研究旨在调查让学生参与形成性评估和反馈活动是否可以支持学生的自我调节、提高成绩和提高对评估的满意度。干预措施的设计采用了一个新颖的框架，该框架是为工作人员反思而制定的，源于自我调节学习模式以及形成性评估和反馈原则。Zimmerman的自我调节模式是一种全面的方法，涵盖所有阶段，以调查3个荣誉级别模块中的干预措施，涵盖483名学生和9名教职员工。干预后立即从一份简短的问卷中获得学生的意见，并进行统计分析；NVivo对半结构化员工访谈进行了主题分析。学生对评估的信心和满意度显著提高；改善业绩和自我监管的证据有限。确定了员工反思领域，并提出了更有效的前馈策略建议，以支持自我监管。
