Interactive Assessment Area - EDA

Performing assessment and evaluation activities in education during the COVID-19 Pandemic period has gained importance in terms of the effectiveness of the process. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to design and implement the Interactive Assessment Area (EDA), where classroom teachers can design assessment and assessment tools in a virtual environment, share them with their students, and immediately notify parents and students of assessment results, and evaluate the dimensions of teachers, students and parents. The EDA developed within the scope of the project was evaluated in terms of classroom teachers, students and parents. The EDA, which was developed accordingly, was found useful by the teachers, especially in the emergency distance education process, with its features to reduce the workload of the teacher, to provide multimedia supported content production and sharing, to create an individual archive, and to provide individual and rapid evaluation. In addition, it has been determined that teachers' support for preparing different types of questions and providing multimedia-supported feedback increase student motivation, provide a fun environment, and support parent cooperation and follow-up. EDA is a race against time, instant feedback, etc. It has been found to be used by students as it provides more fun working with the elements, supports the use of computers, provides support for the question pool, and allows the evaluation results to be seen instantly by the parents and teachers. Finally, EDA was found useful by the parents as it increases the interaction with the teacher, encourages the children to work by getting the feedback excited, and creates the desire to do the shared tasks on their own. The urgent distance education process has shown that alternative environments should be designed in order to carry out assessment and evaluation activities. In this context, in order to increase the widespread effect of EDA, which was developed with a limited time and budget; voice response etc. increasing response options by adding features, student forum, etc. expanding the level of interaction with the departments, providing external motivation support for students by adding gamification elements (award, trophy, etc.), trending questions, prominent questions, etc. to the developed teacher content. By adding features, external motivation support can be provided for teachers. Finally, by promoting EDA, it can be used throughout Turkey and the number of events in the system can be increased.
