Students’ Perception of Receiving Immediate Assessment Feedback Towards Self-efficacy in Learning: Basis for Implementing Technology-Assisted Assessment Strategy

Mark Kevin Astrero

Abstract

This study has investigated the students’ perception on receiving immediate feedback on students’ self-efficacy in their learning. Students generally reported high self-efficacy (average score of 3.58), with strengths in areas like adapting learning strategies and overcoming challenges. Nevertheless, there were exceptions to this case. Some students experienced test anxiety and had no certainty that they fully understood the test given which suggests a need for things like relaxation techniques for test anxiety and metacognitive skill development that would enable students to reflect upon their own learning processes. To sum up, attention should be given to every student’s needs in any study of this kind. From all angles of self-efficacy, educators can modify instruction and create a supportive environment to increase student’s self-confidence more than ever before. Also worth noting is that technology-based assessments accompanied by immediate feedback can help improve the understanding of the learning process among students and in general boost their self-efficacy in life.
