The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT) improved student test-taking experience compared to Scantron forms. IFAT enhanced perceived fairness, ease of use, and student involvement in assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Assessment Methods
  • Student Engagement

Background:

  • Traditional Scantron forms are widely used for objective scoring.
  • Concerns exist regarding student engagement and perception of fairness with standardized testing methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare student perceptions of Scantron forms versus the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT).
  • To identify differences in ease of use, fairness, and involvement between the two assessment methods.

Main Methods:

  • Students completed questionnaires after exams using either Scantron or IFAT.
  • Factor analysis was used to analyze questionnaire responses.
  • Scales were developed to measure student perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Six student response scales were identified, independent of grades, sex, course, or instructor.
  • Students using IFAT reported significantly higher ease of understanding and completion.
  • IFAT users also showed higher perceived fairness, preference for answer-until-correct, and involvement.

Conclusions:

  • The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique offers a more positive and engaging student experience than Scantron forms.
  • IFAT may enhance student motivation and perceived equity in classroom assessments.
  • Assessment design significantly impacts student perceptions and engagement.
