Laura Graewert et al., « Digital self-assessment in learning multiplication », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'éducation, ID : 10670/1.ze5ler
Digital technologies have the potential to support the assessment of students’ mathematical understanding, but they are rarely used to support students in self-assessment. For this reason, the BASE project is developing and researching a digital self-assessment tool (BASE tool) that focuses on self-assessment of basic arithmetic knowledge. This paper describes a case study investigating how a dynamic and interactive sample solution in the BASE tool affects a student’s multiplicative understanding and activation of metacognitive activities. It turns out that the student develops a multiplicative understanding that is strongly related to the sample solution, even if it is only one of two possible solutions. Regarding metacognitive activities, the sample solution causes the student to doubt his mathematically correct answer on the one hand and to correctly evaluate his self-assessment on the other.
