generates systematic feedback for students and lecturers for continuous learning
improvement.
Furthermore, the model was developed based on the principles of formative
assessment (FA) as outlined by Black and William (2009). It encompasses a set of
five key actions that can be implemented within the classroom setting. These
activities include 1) the dissemination of success criteria to learners; 2) the
utilization of questioning techniques in the classroom, 3) the provision of feedback
by the instructor; 4) the incorporation of peer and self-assessment; and 5) the
formative utilization of summative examinations.
Several studies have addressed the importance of integrating A3 in various
disciplines and levels of education, arguing that A3 can work together and support
each other to promote students' learning and improve student learning achievement
despite the different purposes of these approaches (e.g., Berry, 2008; Boun &
Falchikov, 2007; Costa & Toledo, 2020; Lam, 2015; Lee, 2017; Timmis et al.,
2015).
Involving students actively in the assessment process is beneficial to engage
their learning motivation since it allows students to give a voice and criticize their
learning progress. Involving students in assessment has a potential role for students
to build their sense of ownership and control their learning progress, which can be
carried out in partnership between students and their peers or students and their
lecturers (Stefani, 1998). Besides, the students can learn from their peers. Topping
(2018) asserts that from the view of the formative assessment principles, students
can help each other identify their learning progress through peer assessment (PA).
