Research abstract
THE POWER OF INSTANT FEEDBACK IN STIMULATING LEARING HAS BEEN WELL DEMONSTRATED IN THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY, BUT MODERN TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN SLOW IN PRODUCING A PRACTICAL, RELIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD OF PROVIDING SUCH FEEDBACK IN THE CLASSROOM. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM WHICH UTILIZES CURRENT TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING SITUATION FOR THE PUPIL AND INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR THE TEACHER. THE SYSTEM ALLOWS STUDENTS TO TRANSMIT RESPONSES TO THE INSTRUCTOR AND RECEIVE CONFIRMATION OR CORRECTION IN RETURN. THE IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK FROM THE TEACHER IMPROVES THE STUDENT'S LEARNING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE DATA GENERATED BY STUDENTS PERMITS CONTINUAL ANALYSIS BY THE TEACHER OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EDUCATIONAL MODALITY AS WELL AS THE COLLECTING AND REPORTING OF TEST RELIABILITY, VALIDITY AND OTHER GROUP PARAMETERS.
