q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of eight studies on external feedback: teacher feedback "helps make clear expectations of learning tasks and identify areas where they need to devote more time"; lack of immediate feedback was reported as a barrier.

"Self-assessment with external feedback, mainly from teachers, was perceived to be more valuable by students"

q2 · i? · review · r2

Review synthesis of six studies on instruments: students perceived rubrics as "a reference for meaningful self-assessment" and used them to pinpoint errors; the global rating scale was preferred over the more rigid checklist scale.

"Compared with checklists and learning logs, students regarded rubrics as the most helpful tool (42)."

q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis: only four studies explicitly discussed purpose; students valued self-assessment for learning improvement even without better marks, while summative contexts appeared less useful because students focused too much on marks.

"Most studies favoured self-assessment for learning improvement or those with qualitative methods."
