A Micro-Longitudinal Approach to the Effects of Immediate Feedback on Test-Taker Emotions

• In Event: Electronic Board Session I

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of implementing immediate, automated feedback in a computer-based low-stakes assessment. While students’ positive emotions and performance decreased over the course of the assessment without feedback, they increased with feedback. Data imply that automated feedback may buffer undesirable item position effects in low-stakes contexts.
