Abstract

Objectives: The research aimed to identify the effect of using the electronic formative evaluation strategy on academic achievement in Computer and Information Technology Course 2 among secondary school students. Methods: The research employed a semi-experimental approach, with both a control group and an experimental group, with pre- and post-application of the research tools. The research sample included (48) students who were purposefully chosen from four sections, with 24 students in the experimental group and 24 students in the control group. An achievement test was designed to assess students' performance. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group (which was taught using the electronic formative evaluation strategy) compared to the mean scores of the control group (which was taught in the traditional way) in the post-test of academic achievement in both theoretical and practical aspects, in favor of the experimental group. Conclusions: Based on the results of the research, the study concluded with several recommendations, the most important of which are: Expanding the use of the electronic formative evaluation strategy in teaching computer and information technology courses and digital skills utilizing online tools for designing electronic assessments, and making these tools available and shareable through relevant websites.
