Introducing BeA into Self-Regulated Learning to provide Formative Assessment support

摘要

BeA (Blended e-Assessment) is an e-assessment solution that supports both teachers evaluating and students accessing and reviewing their assessments on line, anytime and anywhere. Students perform their tests, exams or exercises in paper, but the assessment made by teachers and reporting of results to students is performed on-line using scanned copies of the papers. BeA includes functionalities allowing teachers to classify and manage common errors, guaranteeing coherence and consistence along the assessment process. This paper introduces a work in progress using BeA to support Self-Regulated Learning and Formative Assessment. This involves promoting a reflective dialogue among teacher(s) and students around the assessment results. BeA statistical tools enable teachers to identify the more frequent mistakes and to group students based on such mistakes. Teachers can send general or specific feedback to learners and use predefined prompts in order to initiate student self-reflection and self-awareness of their mistakes and misconceptions.
