Assessments and learning profoundly reciprocate one another as assessment may inform the learning practices, and vice versa. Resonating the aforesaid view, PutraPacer was developed as a customizable tool to empower instructors in embracing differentiated assessment.  \nThe objective of this pilot study is to elicit feedback on the use of PutraPacer as a differentiated assessment tool among a group of undergraduate students at a higher education institution. Drawing on the UTAUT model, this study employs an explanatory sequential mixed-method design to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative findings show that the mean values for performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influences, and behavioural intention to use PutraPacer are ranged between 3.56 and 3.67. Based on the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, there are strong association between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influences with behavioural intention to use PutraPacer as a differentiated assessment tool. The qualitative findings reveal that the students perceived PutraPacer as a user-friendly and a learning tool that promotes individualized learning experience and supports students with different abilities, and iii) a good platform for practices, quizzes, and revision.  \nKeywords: alternative assessment, differentiated assessment, learners’ diversity, explanatory sequential mixed method  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEnsuring rock solid clarity about where we want students to end up as a result of a sequence of learning is fundamental to educational success. Remembering that we cannot reach the mind we do not engage ought to be a daily compass for educational planning (Tomlinson, 2001, p. 1) .  \nAssessment is deemed important as a proof that learning happens, regardless of students’ background, characteristics, and ability per se. The aforementioned quote can be translated that assessment is a powerful tool to determine whether an instructor is engaged with the students’ minds and whether students are actually learning. Other than getting evidence that students learned, assessment can benefit the assessor (Nasri et al., 2010), namely the instructor, to improve his/her pedagogical qualities and enhance his/her scholarship of teaching and learning. Besides that, assessment most importantly allows instructors to have abetter picture of their learners’ abilities as it allows continuous interaction between assessment and instruction (Al-Mahrooqi & Denman, 2018) .  \nAn alternative assessment is a student-centered approach that focuses on the level of the application of knowledge and skills to real life, taking the individual features of the students into consideration (Caliskan & Kasikci, 2010) . One of the approaches to alternative assessment, namely differentiated assessment, is the approach put forth in this research to address mixed-ability and diverse learning styles. Differentiation stems from beliefs about differences among learners (Algozzine & Anderson, 2007; Lawrence-Brown, 2004; Tomlinson, 2001), like background, characteristics, learning style, needs, preferences, interests, and abilities. The role of instructor, therefore, has amplified in a multitude of forms to address t","cbCaitWE4RiLNLEo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitWE4RiLNLEo","pdf",521045,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Universal design for learning and suitable assessment\n## Importance of assessment and alternative assessment\n## Differentiated assessment for diverse learners\n## Malaysian reliance on standardized testing","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the PutraPacer pilot study?\",\"answer\":\"It elicits undergraduate students’ feedback on using PutraPacer as a differentiated assessment tool.\"},{\"question\":\"What research design does the study use?\",\"answer\":\"It uses an explanatory sequential mixed-method design based on the UTAUT model to gather quantitative and qualitative data.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the quantitative findings suggest about intention to use PutraPacer?\",\"answer\":\"They show mean values between 3.56 and 3.67 and strong associations between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influences, and behavioral intention to use PutraPacer.\"}]","Students’ Perspectives on the Use of Differentiated Assessment Tool - Results from an Explanatory Sequential Mixed-Method Pilot Study | PDF",1792090102,45]
