Impacts of formative evaluation model towards improving students’ learning outcomes in online teaching platforms

Abstract

Education is one of the areas that was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the current situation, lecturers must have the ability to use the appropriate approach in the teaching and learning process. The majority of universities have used online teaching platforms in the teaching and learning process. However, Lecturers have many obstacles in the learning process. One of them is that the lecturer does not know the online-based evaluation platforms. This situation has decreased students’ knowledge. Therefore, innovation of the learning evaluation model is imperative to development. This study discusses the impacts of the Formative Evaluation Model (FEM) in improving students' learning outcomes. FEM is applied in KULINO as a Learning Management System (LMS). A total of 120 students and 2 lecturers were involved in this research. Using two learning approaches; one group used the summative evaluation model while the latter group used the FEM evaluation model. Questionnaires about students’ perceptions were distributed before and after the experimental learning process. There were differences in the mean scores between pre and post-test. The mean score of students’ attitude increased by 6.74 points and students’ knowledge mean score increased by 2.23 points.
