The findings suggest that TMSA not only retains the benefits of traditional self-assessment, such as enhancing students’ academic performance and fostering long-term learning, but also introduces unique advantages. It amplifies student engagement via interactive and multimedia elements, provides flexibility for self-assessment, and assists educators with data-driven insights while easing administrative tasks. However, it also brings challenges, including technical issues like software glitches, connectivity problems, and compatibility issues with various devices or operating systems. The review concludes with recommendations for optimizing TMSA implementation.\u003Cbr>Keywords: technology-mediated self-assessment, higher education, self-assessment, education technology |\n| --- | --- |\n\nSelf-assessment has long been recognized as a powerful tool for enhancing student learning, fostering self-regulation, and improving academic outcomes (Andrade, 2019; Panadero et al., 2016; Yan, 2016, 2022) . Its pedagogical value has been well-documented in empirical research dating back to the 1980s (e.g., Boud, 1986, 1989; Boud & Falchikov, 1989), with recent meta-analyses further underscoring its benefits for academic performance (León et al., 2023; Yan et al., 2022), self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies and desirable affective learning outcomes (Panadero et al., 2017) . However, as educational practices increasingly shift toward digital environments, the role of technology in self-assessment has become a critical area of exploration (RaposoRivas & Cebrian, 2019; Wylie et al., 2020; Yan, 2022) .  \nThe integration of digital tools into self-assessment–referred to as technology-mediated self-assessment (TMSA)–has opened new possibilities for personalized, immediate, and accessible learning experiences (Alenezi, 2023; Ifenthaler et al., 2023; Nieminen et al., 2025; Midoro, 2012) . Yet, despite its growing adoption, the research on TMSA remains fragmented, with limited synthesis of its benefits, challenges, and implications for teaching and learning (Debuse & Lawley, 2016) . This review seeks to address this gap by examining the current state of TMSA research and identifying ways to optimize its effectiveness in educational settings.  \nTechnological Advancements  \nThe integration of digital technologies into self-assessment practices has transformed how students engage with and reflect on their learning. TMSA leverages a variety of digital tools and platforms, ranging from off-the-shelf applications to custom","cbCaiasFByGKlczd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiasFByGKlczd","pdf",384745,23,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Technological Advancements\n## Pedagogical Implications","[{\"question\":\"What does the review focus on regarding technology-mediated self-assessment (TMSA)?\",\"answer\":\"The review critically examines empirical evidence on TMSA in higher education, summarizing the tools used, benefits achieved, and challenges faced, and concluding with implementation recommendations.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits does TMSA offer compared with traditional self-assessment?\",\"answer\":\"TMSA retains benefits of traditional self-assessment such as improved academic performance and long-term learning, while adding interactive and multimedia engagement, flexibility in self-assessment, and educator support through data-driven insights.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges are identified for implementing TMSA?\",\"answer\":\"Identified challenges include technical problems such as software glitches, connectivity issues, and compatibility constraints across different devices or operating systems.\"}]","Technology-mediated self-assessment in higher education - A critical review | PDF",1792090795,58,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"ok",{"site_id":75,"language":74,"slug":84,"title":65,"keywords":85,"description":66,"schema_data":86,"social_meta":140,"head_meta":142,"extra_data":144,"updated_unix":145},"technology-mediated-self-assessment-in-higher-education-a-critical-review","",{"@graph":87,"@context":139},[88,102,122],{"@type":89,"itemListElement":90},"BreadcrumbList",[91,95,97,100],{"item":92,"name":93,"@type":94,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":96,"name":9,"@type":94,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":98,"name":40,"@type":94,"position":99},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":101,"name":65,"@type":94,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology-mediated-self-assessment-in-higher-education-a-critical-review/600493/",{"url":101,"name":65,"@type":103,"image":104,"author":109,"headline":65,"publisher":111,"fileFormat":114,"inLanguage":74,"description":66,"dateModified":115,"datePublished":116,"encodingFormat":114,"isAccessibleForFree":117,"interactionStatistic":118},"DigitalDocument",{"url":105,"@type":106,"width":107,"height":108},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/technology-mediated-self-assessment-in-higher-education-a-critical-review/600493.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":63,"@type":110},"Person",{"url":92,"name":112,"@type":113},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-31","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":119,"interactionType":120,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":121},"ViewAction",{"@type":123,"mainEntity":124},"FAQPage",[125,131,135],{"name":126,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":128},"What does the review focus on regarding technology-mediated self-assessment (TMSA)?","Question",{"text":129,"@type":130},"The review critically examines empirical evidence on TMSA in higher education, summarizing the tools used, benefits achieved, and challenges faced, and concluding with implementation recommendations.","Answer",{"name":132,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":133},"What benefits does TMSA offer compared with traditional self-assessment?",{"text":134,"@type":130},"TMSA retains benefits of traditional self-assessment such as improved academic performance and long-term learning, while adding interactive and multimedia engagement, flexibility in self-assessment, and educator support through data-driven insights.",{"name":136,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":137},"What challenges are identified for implementing TMSA?",{"text":138,"@type":130},"Identified challenges include technical problems such as software glitches, connectivity issues, and compatibility constraints across different devices or operating systems.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":101,"og:type":141,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":112,"og:description":66},"article",{"robots":143,"canonical":101},"index,follow",{"doc_id":61,"site_id":75},1792192132]
