dc.description.abstract |
Feedback that monitors and scaffolds student learning has been shown to support learning. This study investigates the effect of mathematics teachers’ perceptions of Formative Assessment (FA) and Assessment for Learning (AfL) and their conceptions of assessment on the quality of their feedback practices. The study was conducted in 48 secondary schools in Tanzania with 54 experienced mathematics teachers teaching Form three (Grade 11). Validated questionnaires were combined with interviews to investigate mathematics teachers’ perceptions, conceptions, and feedback practices. Data were analysed by structural equation modeling and content analysis techniques. Results from the structural equation model indicated that mathematics teachers’ perceptions of FA and AfL and their conceptions of assessment purposes positively predicted the quality of their feedback practices. Interview results illustrated that mathematics teachers used their students’ assessment information for both formative and summative purposes. Future interventions for improving the quality of mathematics teacher’s feedback practices are proposed. |
