Abstract

The present study aimed to identify students' perceptions about electronic assessment and their relationships to learning styles and academic self-efficacy. The sample of the study consisted of 342 male and female students enrolled in the baccalaureate programs at Sultan Qaboos University for the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020. To achieve the goals of the study, three instruments were used after establishing their validity and reliability: Students' Perceptions about Electronic Assessment Questionnaire, Academic Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale, and Preferred Learning Styles Scale. The results of the study showed that students had a neutral perception about electronic assessment and medium level of academic self-efficacy. Also, the results showed that the most preferred learning styles for students were in order: the participatory, competitive, and independent; whereas the least preferred learning styles for students were in order: the cooperative, dependent, and avoidant. Further, the results showed a mediating effect of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between some of the students' preferred learning styles and perceptions about electronic assessment, as well as a direct positive effect of the cooperative learning style on the perception of electronic assessment. The study came out with a set of recommendations and suggestions to enhance students' perceptions of electronic assessment.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى التعرف على تصورات الطلبة حول التقييم الإلكتروني وعلاقتها بأنماط التعلم وفاعلية الذات الأكاديمية. تكونت عينة الدراسة من 342 طالب وطالبة المسجلين في برامج البكالويوس بجامعة السلطان قابوس للفصل الدراسي الثاني من العام الأكاديمي 2019/2020م. لتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدام ثلاث أدوات تم التحقق من صدقها وثباتها، وهي: استبانة تصورات الطلبة حول التقييم الإلكتروني، ومقياس معتقدات الفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية، ومقياس أنماط التعلم المفضلة. أظهرت نتائج الدراسة وجود تصور محايد لدى الطلبة عن التقييم الإلكتروني، ومستوى متوسط من الفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية. كما بينت النتائج أن أكثر أنماط التعلم تفضيلاً لدى الطلبة هي التشاركي، يليه التنافسي، ثم الاستقلالي، بينما جاءت أنماط التعلم التعاوني، والاعتمادي، والتجنبي أقل تفضيلا لديهم. وأظهرت النتائج أيضاً أثراً وسيطاً للفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية في العلاقة بين بعض أنماط التعلم المفضلة لدى الطلبة وتصوراتهم حول التقييم الإلكتروني، كما أسفرت عن وجود أثراً مباشراً في الاتجاه الإيجابي لنمط التعلم التعاوني على التصور حول التقييم الإلكتروني. وقد خرجت الدراسة بمجموعة من التوصيات والمقترحات لتعزيز تصورات الطلبة حول التقييم الإلكتروني.
