A Study on the Impact of Visualization and Sharing of Learning Assessment on Active Learning Behavior and Motivation

Abstract

This paper analyzes the question “How can we give feedback on learning assessment to promote learners’ active learning?” based on the results of class practice. In this class, we designed and implemented a system that allows learners to check the results of their assessments online. In this paper, we analyzed the impact of visualization and sharing of assessments on learning behavior from the perspective of self-regulated learning and engagement, based on online logs of learning behavior, records of assignment submissions, assessment records of learning behavior and assignments, and responses to a questionnaire survey by learners. The results suggest that students’ learning behaviors are characterized by their goals and types of self-regulation, and that the visualization and sharing of assessments leads to the maintenance of motivation and proactive learning planning.
