A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
The present study non-experimentally investigated the relationship between the implementation of formative assessment techniques and Bachelor psychology students’ wellbeing, self-efficacy, engagement, study approaches, procrastination behaviour and cheating, with a focus on student satisfaction and perceived retention of course material. Participants (N = 211) were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their experiences with formative and summative assessment, which measured effects on the described dimensions. Positive effects were found for all measured dimensions. Students on average reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction and perceived retention of course material when they thought about experiences with formative assessment. Given the recent spur of implementation of formative techniques by educators due to the pandemic, more research across cultures and university departments is needed to understand the impact of formative assessment on students’ experiences.
