SELF-REGULATED LEARNING ENHANCEMENT THROUGH SELF-ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

This contribution deals with the role played by the Aplusix ICT tool in making students become self-regulated learners. The main feature of the tool that we exploited consists in the feedback which offers students the opportunity of self-assessment. A remedial intervention addressing the didactical problem of the algebraic calculation, in which many students encounter many difficulties, is described. The experiment highlights how the feedback coming from the ICT tool helps students, not only to solve the actual task, but, by using and re-using it, becomes internalized and influences subsequent self-assessments in which it is not present (e. g. working in paper and pencil).
