Abstract

This study implemented and evaluated the innovative use of a performance-based assessment platform to support the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) in senior primary students as they completed programming tasks. We embedded SRL support features into a performance-based assessment platform as scaffolding to help the students implement problem-solving strategies. A mixed-methods approach was adopted to evaluate the intervention. The students’ perceptions of their SRL skills after working through the programming tasks were measured by a survey of 45 students. The quantitative results suggested that the students benefited from the performance-based assessment platform in developing their SRL skills. A thematic analysis of interview data from 20 students further indicated that the embedded SRL scaffolding and automatic marking function helped them to solve the programming tasks. The results demonstrate that a well-designed performance-based assessment platform with embedded SRL support can be an effective tool for developing students’ SRL. The qualitative results further revealed that algorithmic thinking is an aspect of programming for which students need more SRL support.

用基于绩效的程序设计教育评估平台支持小学生自主学习

本研究实施并评估了一个基于绩效的评估平台的创新使用，以支持高年级小学生在完成编程任务时的自我调节学习(SRL)的发展。我们将SRL支持特性嵌入到基于性能的评估平台中，作为脚手架来帮助学生实现解决问题的策略。采用混合方法评价干预措施。在完成编程任务后，学生们对自己的SRL技能的看法是通过对45名学生的调查来衡量的。定量结果表明，基于绩效的评估平台对学生的SRL技能的发展有益。对20名学生访谈数据的专题分析进一步表明，嵌入式SRL脚手架和自动评分功能帮助他们解决了编程任务。结果表明，一个设计良好的基于绩效的评估平台，嵌入了SRL支持，可以成为开发学生SRL的有效工具。定性结果进一步表明，算法思维是学生需要更多SRL支持的编程方面。

期刊介绍： The goal of this Journal is to provide an international scholarly publication forum for peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research into the applications, effects, and implications of computer-based education. The Journal features articles useful for practitioners and theorists alike. The terms "education" and "computing" are viewed broadly. “Education” refers to the use of computer-based technologies at all levels of the formal education system, business and industry, home-schooling, lifelong learning, and unintentional learning environments. “Computing” refers to all forms of computer applications and innovations - both hardware and software. For example, this could range from mobile and ubiquitous computing to immersive 3D simulations and games to computing-enhanced virtual learning environments.
