Abstract Objective: to study the relationship among tourism demand and economic growth, real exchange rate, and economic policy uncertainty (EPU) in Australia China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Methodology: cross-section dependence, unit root, and cointegration tests were applied. The long-term model was estimated according to the Panel-Corrected Standard Error (PCSE), Feasible Generalised Least Squares (FGLS), and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS). Results: the results show a positive relationship between economic growth and the real exchange rate concerning tourism demand. In the long term, the causality relationship is from uncertainty, exchange rate, and GDP to tourism. The feedback hypothesis is validated. Limitations: availability of data. Originality: it studies the joint influence of economic growth and the EPU on demand for tourism in the countries of the world’s leading destinations for international tourism according to international tourist income. Conclusions: tourism will drive general economic growth and, correspondingly, investment in other sectors of the economy will also influence an increase in tourism.

Resumo: O feedback é uma instância que permite ao estudante reconhecer não apenas suas lacunas de apren- dizagem, mas também trabalhá-las para alcançar os resultados esperados. Dada a sua relevância, este estudo aborda a falta de feedback eficaz nos processos de escrita, particularmente no contexto do ensino primário e secundário no Chile. O objetivo principal é analisar as percepções dos estudantes do sétimo ano da matéria de Língua e Literatura quanto ao feedback, após a implementação de uma estratégia pedagógica. Uma pesquisa pré e pós-intervenção foi aplicada a 23 estudantes de um colégio chileno e foram analisados dados quantitativos e qualitativos. Os resultados apontaram mudanças significativas na percepção dos estudantes sobre o sentido do feedback, seu potencial reflexivo e a participação incentivada. Estas conclusões apoiam a necessidade de incorporar estratégias eficazes de feedback nos ambientes escolares, integrandoas no planeamento da sala de aula e desenvolvendo atividades concretas que incentivem a sua implementação na sala de aula.

Resumen: La retroalimentación es una instancia que permite al estudiantado reconocer no solo sus brechas de aprendizaje, sino también trabajar en ellas para alcanzar los resultados esperados. Dada su relevancia, este estudio aborda la carencia de retroalimentación efectiva en los procesos de escritura, en particular en el contexto escolar primario y secundario en Chile. El objetivo principal es analizar las percepciones de estudiantes de séptimo básico en la asignatura de Lengua y Literatura respecto a la retroalimentación, tras la implementación de una estrategia pedagógica. Se aplicó una encuesta pre y pos intervención a 23 estudiantes de un colegio chileno, y se analizaron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los resultados evidenciaron cambios significativos en la percepción de estudiantes sobre el sentido de la retroalimentación, su potencial reflexivo y la participación incentivada. Estos hallazgos respaldan la necesidad de incorporar estrategias de retroalimentación efectiva en entornos escolares, integrándolas a las planificaciones de aula y desarrollando actividades concretas que propicien su implementación en el salón de clase.

Abstract: Feedback allows students not only to recognize their learning gaps, but also to work on them in order to achieve the expected results. Given its relevance, this study addresses the lack of effective feedback in writing processes, especially in the primary and secondary school contexts in Chile. The main objective is to analyze the perceptions of seventh grade language and literature students regarding feedback after the implementation of a pedagogical strategy. Twenty-three students from a Chilean school were interviewed before and after the intervention, which included quantitative and qualitative data. The results showed significant changes in students’ perceptions of the value of feedback, its reflective potential, and the encouragement of participation. These findings support the need to incorporate effective feedback strategies into school settings, to integrate them into lesson planning, and to develop concrete activities that encourage their implementation.

Abstract The improvement intention that precedes the improvement behavior of employees is a primary factor for companies that employ them to achieve their objectives. In this study, the influence of two Performance Appraisal (PA) variables was examined: supervisor diligence and subordinates' reactions to the PA meeting. Thirteen control variables were incorporated into the analysis, including 7 demographic and 6 factors related to performance evaluation, such as individualized consideration, relationship, supervisor support, procedural justice, accuracy of PA, and satisfaction with PA. Data were collected through a questionnaire provided by McClendon et al. and responses were obtained from 224 employees of automotive manufacturing companies in the city of Aguascalientes. The reliability coefficients of the questionnaire were high, indicating robust consistency in the responses. A multiple regression analysis revealed an explanatory model of 0.456 of the variance in improvement intention, highlighting the significant contribution of the supervisor's feedback and diligence factors, without the inclusion of control variables. In this context, feedback stood out as the key factor, suggesting that allocating organizational resources for supervisor training could generate greater benefits in employee improvement behavior. These findings highlight the importance of supervisor feedback and diligence as critical elements in driving improvement intention among employees.

Resumen La intención de mejora que precede al comportamiento de mejora de los empleados es un factor primordial para que las empresas que los emplean logren sus objetivos. Este estudio examinó la influencia de dos variables de la Evaluación del Desempeño (ED): la diligencia del supervisor y las reacciones de los subordinados a la reunión de ED. Se incorporaron al análisis 13 variables de control, que incluyeron 7 demográficas y 6 factores relacionados con la evaluación del desempeño, tales como consideración individualizada, relación, apoyo del supervisor, justicia procedimental, precisión de la ED y satisfacción con la ED. Los datos se recopilaron a través de un cuestionario proporcionado por McClendon et al. y se obtuvieron respuestas de 224 empleados de empresas manufactureras automotrices de la ciudad de Aguascalientes. Los coeficientes de confiabilidad del cuestionario fueron altos, indicando una consistencia robusta en las respuestas. Un análisis de regresión múltiple reveló un modelo explicativo del 0.456 de la varianza en la intención de mejora, destacando la contribución significativa de los factores de retroalimentación y diligencia del supervisor, sin la inclusión de las variables de control. En este contexto, la retroalimentación se destacó como el factor clave, sugiriendo que la asignación de recursos organizacionales para la capacitación de supervisores podría generar mayores beneficios en el comportamiento de mejora de los empleados. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de la retroalimentación y la diligencia del supervisor como elementos críticos en el impulso de la intención de mejora entre los empleados.

Resumen: El artículo analiza la creciente circulación del discurso transexclusivo en el ámbito de la izquierda brasileña en el ámbito de las redes sociales. Este feminismo, epistémicamente marcado por una perspectiva esencialista y biologizante, recurre en ocasiones al argumento de la materialidad del cuerpo de la mujer, a partir de la experiencia designada del sexo biológico (naturaleza) en oposición a la noción de identidad de género (cultura), afirmando la riesgo de borrar las demandas de las mujeres y sus necesidades dirigidas a las mujeres cisgénero. A partir de tres casos que cobraron repercusión en las redes sociales en el período comprendido entre 2022 y 2023, presentamos estas controversias. La hipótesis con la que partimos es que se comparte una narrativa matricial esencialista y transexclusiva sobre el género, tanto por parte de segmentos feministas como por parte de la derecha en el campo social, generando un sistema de retroalimentación entre espectros políticos que no reconocen identidades distintas. que el cisheteronormativo.

Resumo: O artigo analisa a crescente circulação do discurso transexcludente no campo da esquerda brasileira na esfera das redes sociais. Esse feminismo, epistemicamente marcado por uma perspectiva essencialista e biologizante, recorre ora ao argumento da materialidade do corpo da mulher, partindo da experiência designada do sexo biológico (natureza) em contraposição à noção de identidade de gênero (cultura), afirmando o risco do apagamento das reinvindicações das mulheres e sua necessidade direcionada à mulher cisgênera. Partindo de três casos que ganharam repercussão nas redes sociais no período entre 2022 e 2023, apresentamos tais controvérsias. A hipótese que defendemos é que existe o compartilhamento de uma matriz-narrativa essencialista e transexcludente sobre o gênero, tanto por segmentos feministas, quanto da direita no campo societário, gerando um sistema de retroalimentação entre espectros políticos que não reconhecem outras identidades para além da cisheteronormativa.

Abstract: The article analyzes the growing circulation of trans-exclusive discourse in the field of the Brazilian left in the sphere of social networks. This feminism, epistemically marked by an essentialist and biologizing perspective, sometimes resorts to the argument of the materiality of the woman’s body, starting from the designated experience of biological sex (nature) in opposition to the notion of gender identity (culture), affirming the risk of erasure of women’s demands and their needs aimed at cisgender women. Starting from three cases that gained repercussion on social media in the period between 2022 and 2023, we present these controversies. The hypothesis we start with is that there is the sharing of an essentialist and trans-exclusive matrix-narrative about gender, both by feminist segments and by the right in the societal field, generating a feedback system between political spectrums that do not recognize identities other than the cisheteronormative one.

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar o papel moderador da vivência autêntica na relação do feedback recebido com o desempenho de papéis, mediado pelo engajamento no trabalho. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de uma amostra por conveniência de trabalhadores brasileiros provenientes de organizações públicas e privadas (N = 1.244). A interação significativa entre o feedback e a vivência autêntica permitiu compreender que os maiores efeitos do feedback sobre o desempenho acontecem em indivíduos com elevada vivência autêntica. Quando os indivíduos são mais autênticos, as informações que os mesmos recebem sobre o desempenho afetará mais fortemente o próprio processo motivacional no trabalho. Este estudo fornece evidências da relação positiva entre os recursos do trabalho e pessoais com o engajamento e o desempenho no trabalho, contribuindo, assim, para um aumento, por parte das organizações, do feedback recebido sobre o desempenho, bem como a criação de ambientes facilitadores de autenticidade.

Abstract: This research aims to identify the moderating role of authentic living in the relationship between feedback received and role performance, mediated by work engagement. The data were based on a convenience sample of Brazilian workers from public and private organizations (N = 1,244). The significant interaction between the feedback and authentic living allowed us to understand that the main effects of feedback on performance take place in individuals with high authentic living. When individuals are more authentic, the information they receive about their performance more strongly affects the motivational process at work itself. This study highlights the positive relationship between work and personal resources, as well as the work engagement and performance on the other, thus contributing to increase the feedback the organizations receive about performance, as well as to create environments that facilitate authenticity.

Resumen: El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar el papel moderador de la experiencia auténtica en la relación entre la retroalimentación recibida y el desempeño de roles, mediada por el compromiso laboral. Los datos se obtuvieron de una muestra por conveniencia de trabajadores brasileños de organizaciones públicas y privadas (N = 1244). La interacción significativa entre la retroalimentación y la experiencia auténtica permitió comprender que los mayores efectos de la retroalimentación sobre el desempeño ocurren en individuos con alta experiencia auténtica. Cuando los individuos son más auténticos, la información que reciben sobre el desempeño afectará más fuertemente su propio proceso motivacional en el trabajo. Este estudio proporciona evidencia de la relación positiva entre el trabajo y los recursos personales con el compromiso y el desempeño en el trabajo, de esta forma contribuyen al aumento, por parte de las organizaciones, de la retroalimentación recibida sobre el desempeño, así como a la creación de entornos propicios de autenticidad.

Golfers often face challenges in refining their swings, seeking cost-effective ways to enhance their techniques. Traditional coaching methods are costly and since they rely on the human eye, these techniques often miss important golf swing movements owing to the rapid pace of a golf swing. To address this shortcoming, an investigation into the potential of IMU sensors for the mapping of golf swings to aid both instructors and golfers was undertaken. Focusing on the leading shoulder's horizontal position relative to the club head, the study addresses two questions: determining whether IMUs can map a golf swing as well as determining the minimum IMU sensors required to track a golf swing. Thus, the goal of this pilot study was to identify if there are optimal placements for IMUs on the body. The premise is that by performing a consistent golf swing, golfers could improve their handicap. Thus, by tracking and visually displaying the phases of the golf swing, such data could aid in increased golf swing consistency by analysing not only the phases of the golf swing, but also the bodily movements. This pilot study relied on six participants who each repeatedly performed golf swings. IMUs were positioned in eight positions around the body from ankle to shoulder and several trials were conducted for each position. The results showed that IMUs were useful in tracking a golf swing; however, certain bodily positions, such as the hip, leading knee, and leading foot, did not yield meaningful data as compared to the other positions. The IMU data from the back and front of the wrist and the leading shoulder provided useful mappings of the golf swing, including the timing and intensity. Analysis of body posture angles, especially wrist flexion, hip, and shoulder rotation angles, offered valuable data that may be useful to both coaches and players. By discerning patterns in successful and unsuccessful swings, coaches could provide informed feedback to golfers, aiding golfers in refining their techniques. These findings demonstrate the potential of IMU sensors in golf instruction, offering a data-driven approach to enhance golfers' performance and consistency on the golf course.

Abstract Background: Safety is a crucial aspect of healthcare provision. Incidents or adverse events in healthcare can often be prevented and must be reported when they occur.

Abstract: The objective of this pilot study is to describe the effects of different types of written corrective feedback on the acquisition of the simple past tense in English, in a higher education context. A quasi-experimental design is applied, with intact classes, with a pre- and post-test, and a control group. The sample consists of 62 university students who are Spanish native speakers L1 with an intermediate English level (B1). In general, the findings indicate that the experimental groups obtained better results than the control group in the post-test. However, due to certain limitations of the pilot study, the results must be viewed with caution. The results and analysis suggest that corrective feedback positively affects the acquisition of the simple past tense of English and that of all types of feedback, direct corrective feedback is the most effective.

Resumen: Este estudio piloto se propone como objetivo describir los efectos de los distintos tipos de retroalimentación correctiva escrita en la adquisición del pasado simple del inglés, en un contexto de educación superior. Se aplica un diseño cuasi-experimental, de clases intactas, con pre y post - test y grupo control. La muestra del estudio está constituida por 62 estudiantes universitarios, hablantes de español como L1, con nivel pre intermedio en inglés (B1). En general, los hallazgos indican que los grupos experimentales obtuvieron mejores resultados que el grupo control en el post-test. Sin embargo, debido a ciertas limitaciones del estudio piloto, los resultados hay que visualizarlos con cautela. A partir de los hallazgos y del análisis se concluye que la retroalimentación correctiva escrita sí tiene un efecto positivo en la adquisición del pasado simple del inglés y que, de todos los tipos, la directa es la más eficaz.

Remote areas that lack conventional water-provisioning infrastructure often rely on rainwater harvesting, rivers, pans, reservoirs and borehole-extracted water to meet domestic water requirements. These water sources often have poor microbial quality and chemical composition, the quality of which is not routinely monitored. This study explored citizen science as a tool for Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, detailing the co-creation of a sustained community-based water quality monitoring program in collaboration with communities in villages in Amakhala Game Reserve (Eastern Cape, South Africa). Without access to other water sources, participants predominantly used rainwater for drinking and cooking (80%), while borehole water was mainly used for cleaning and gardening due to its salty or bitter taste. A hydrogen sulfide (H2S) water testing kit was used by the citizen scientists to monitor the water quality. The H2S kits were effective in estimating bacterial contamination, showing a proportional relationship with Colilert® test results conducted in a laboratory. The alignment observed between community-based monitoring results and those derived from scientist-led testing underscores the value of data produced through citizen science initiatives. Sustained participant engagement throughout this research reflected a sense of community empowerment through access to tools that inform their decision-making around water use and treatment as well as investment in the research, indicative of the perceived relevance of the research to community interests. This integration of transdisciplinary data sources holds promise for informing evidence-based decision-making processes, facilitating more effective and contextually informed water management strategies that value and integrate community perspectives alongside scientific insights. SIGNIFICANCE: Drawing on the principles of Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, we applied citizen science tools to engage researchers and communities in the co-development of a water quality monitoring program. In addressing a specific area of concern, raised by the remotely situated community around the need for knowing their water quality, the project successfully trained communities in applying water testing tools and fostered agency in decision-making around water treatment. Combined with continuous feedback and communication loops, a high rate of continuity was sustained among the participants.

A vigilância em saúde, como vigilância de agravos e doenças, tem um escopo bastante amplo. Discutiremos aqui a face mais conhecida, que é a vigilância de doenças transmissíveis, e assumiremos como mote a pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. No desenvolvimento do texto, a abordagem se amplia para uma reflexão sobre tecnologias, modelo e organização do sistema. A mais grave epidemia de nossa época, classificada como pandemia, por atingir simultaneamente todo o planeta, tem obrigado a reflexões que envolvem múltiplos campos do conhecimento. O sofrimento decorrente deve inibir a tentação de associá-la a qualquer imagem positiva, ainda que tenha havido oportunidade para aprender e, em algumas circunstâncias, testemunhar a capacidade humana de agir solidariamente. Poucas coisas são tão didáticas como tragédias e erros. Cabe explorá-los cuidadosamente e extrair a necessária retroalimentação para corrigir rumos da atuação em saúde. Neste texto, trataremos das condições que levaram a vigilância em saúde no Brasil a falhar fragorosamente em sua missão frente à emergência desencadeada pela doença do novo coronavírus 2019 e levantaremos pontos que merecem atenção em uma reestruturação do sistema de vigilância em saúde.

The term "health surveillance" encompasses a wide range of activities, including the monitoring and observation of illnesses and diseases. In this section, we will examine the most well-known aspect of health surveillance, namely the monitoring of communicable diseases. To illustrate our discussion, we will use the ongoing pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a case study. As the text progresses, the focus shifts to an examination of technologies, models, and the structure of the system. The most severe epidemic of our era, classified as a pandemic due to its global impact, has compelled us to reflect on a multitude of disciplines. The resulting suffering should preclude any association with positive images, despite the opportunity to learn and, in some instances, observe the capacity of humans to act in solidarity. It is often observed that few things are as didactic as tragedies and mistakes. It is therefore important to explore them carefully to extract the necessary feedback to correct the course of action in health. In this text, we will discuss the conditions that led health surveillance in Brazil to fail miserably in its mission in the face of the emergency triggered by the novel coronavirus disease 2019. We will also present points that deserve attention in a restructuring of the health surveillance system.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to assess the effect of a writing framework model for pedagogical reflection in a sample of elementary school teachers who took part in a lifelong learning program. To do so, a combined research design was carried out, implementing, on the one hand, inferential and multivariable statistical techniques to determine the tempering effect of feedback on the performance of written reflection and, on the other hand, content analysis of the teachers' written production to identify their development of pedagogical reflection. He results reveal that encouraging this reflection in teachers' writing allows them to develop a more in-depth assessment and analysis of their own practices, which is evidenced by the use of more detailed explanations and arguments and the precision of the terminological use of specific concepts.

Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar el efecto de un modelo de andamiaje de la escritura para la reflexión pedagógica en un grupo de docentes de educación primaria que participaron en un programa de formación continua. Para ello se realizó un diseño de investigación mixto, aplicando, por una parte, técnicas estadísticas inferenciales y multivariables para determinar el efecto moderador de la retroalimentación en el desempeño de la reflexión escrita y, por otra, análisis de contenido de los textos del profesorado para identificar su desarrollo de reflexión pedagógica. Los resultados muestran que propiciar esta reflexión en la escritura del profesorado permite desarrollar con mayor profundidad la evaluación y el análisis de sus propias prácticas, lo que se evidencia en el uso de explicaciones y argumentaciones más elaboradas y la precisión del uso terminológico de determinados conceptos.

INTRODUCTION: The undergraduate dental students at the higher learning institutes are expected to acquire clinical skills to deliver proper oral healthcare to patients. Various teaching strategies are used by lecturers to teach the students, and these teaching strategies need to be reviewed by obtaining feedback to improve teaching and learning Aims and objectives: To describe the experiences of dental students regarding the teaching and learning strategies being used in the Prosthetic Dentistry module. METHODS: Final year dental students were asked to participate in the study since they were recipients of teaching and learning in the department of Prosthetic Dentistry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the data captured in this study were analysed by means of a six-phase approach to thematic analysis RESULTS: The participants' responses to teaching strategies revealed that students perceived that in preclinical teaching, different teaching strategies were used. However, a few participants perceived some of these strategies were not effective CONCLUSION: The recommended methods of teaching were those that promoted active student participation. Lecturers in the department of Prosthetic Dentistry use didactic teaching and this may be due to a lack of knowledge regarding other teaching strategies as options in health professions' education

Abstract The university is acknowledged as an institution of great complexity, one that constantly navigates challenges in its interactions with the external community while adhering to an ethical code that defines its institutional identity and guides its research efforts. Moreover, it undertakes digital transformation processes to effectively meet its objectives. With this recognition, this article reports on the experience of designing and developing a Platform for the management of ethical and safety evaluations in scientific research, aimed at facilitating the work of ethical-scientific committees in the university environment. The methodological approach was carried out using tools typical of case study designs, working with documents and defining the following as dimensions of analysis: the development conditions of the platform, its characteristics, its future and challenges. The results indicate that in organizations that prioritize digital transformation as a process that adds value to strategy, a positive impact on knowledge management is observed, as is the case with this Platform. The significance of working with key actors, system users who execute interactions on the platform, appreciating their role in feedback processes and the improvement of the computer resource, is highlighted. Furthermore, it is noted that when there is a strategic vision of digital transformation as a process, favoring progressive development, identifying gaps and improvements in systems, enriching synergies are generated with other sectors of the institution, resulting in a profound and widespread impact throughout the university.

Resumen La universidad como institución es reconocida como una organización de gran complejidad, que constantemente navega desafíos en su interacción con la comunidad externa, al mismo tiempo que se adhiere a un código ético que define su identidad institucional y guía su labor investigativa, y que emprende procesos de transformación digital para cumplir efectivamente con sus objetivos. Con ese reconocimiento, este artículo da cuenta de la experiencia de diseño y desarrollo de una Plataforma para la gestión de la evaluación ética y de seguridad en investigación científica, destinada a facilitar el trabajo de los Comités ético-científicos en el ámbito universitario. El abordaje metodológico se realizó desde herramientas propias de los diseños de estudios de caso, trabajando con material documental y definiendo las siguientes como dimensiones de análisis: las condiciones de desarrollo de la plataforma, las características de ella, sus proyecciones y desafíos. Los resultados indican que en las organizaciones que priorizan la transformación digital como un proceso que aporta valor a la estrategia, se observa un impacto positivo en la gestión del conocimiento, tal como ocurre con esta Plataforma. Destaca la relevancia del trabajo con los actores claves, usuarios del sistema, quienes ejecutan las interacciones en la plataforma, valorando su rol en los procesos de retroalimentación y mejora del recurso informático. Además, se destaca que cuando hay una mirada estratégica de la transformación digital como proceso, favoreciendo un desarrollo progresivo, identificando brechas y mejoras en los sistemas, se generan sinergias enriquecedoras con otros sectores de la institución, generando un impacto profundo y amplio en toda la universidad.

ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the perceptions of language teachers about the facilitating and hindering elements to work oral communication from a collaborative approach. The methodological design was qualitative with a descriptive approach. An intentional non-probabilistic sample was used. The study participants were 40 Chilean language teachers. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with open questions, the analysis of which was carried out through the emerging textual corpus of open responses. The main results highlight the importance of feedback in a face-to-face modality, unlike what happens in a virtual teaching modality. Likewise, the face-to-face context facilitates the development of communication skills and their implementation under a collaborative methodology. The role of the teacher as a guide for the generation of an ideal climate in the classroom is also highlighted. As impeding aspects, there are the negative self-perception of the student, the lack of resources and the difficulties of the teaching body to establish relationships of closeness and trust with the students in a virtual context.

RESUMEN Este artículo tiene como finalidad analizar las percepciones del profesorado de lenguaje sobre los elementos facilitadores y obstaculizadores para trabajar la comunicación oral desde un enfoque colaborativo. El diseño metodológico fue de tipo cualitativo con un enfoque descriptivo. La técnica de muestreo empleada fue de tipo probabilística intencionada. Los participantes del estudio fueron 40 docentes chilenos de lenguaje. El instrumento de recolección de datos fue un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas, cuyos análisis se llevaron a cabo a través del corpus textual emergente de las respuestas. El análisis implicó la identificación de unidades de significado y la agrupación en categorías relevantes. Los principales resultados destacan la importancia de la retroalimentación en una modalidad presencial, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en una modalidad de enseñanza virtual, el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas y su puesta en práctica bajo una metodología colaborativa. Se releva también el rol del docente como guía para la generación de un clima idóneo en el aula. Como aspectos obstaculizadores, se encuentran la autopercepción negativa del estudiante, la falta de recursos y las dificultades del cuerpo docente para establecer relaciones de cercanía y confianza con los estudiantes en contexto virtual.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a global crisis in higher education, where students were required to transition to emergency remote teaching (ERT). This study explored students' experiences of online assessments and feedback during the pandemic to inform future practice. METHODOLOGY: This study utilised a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative design with purposeful sampling to describe student's experiences of online assessments. Data were collected from occupational therapy students in 2022. The Assessment Experiences Questionnaire was sent to all eligible participants (n=166). Data were analysed using SPSS version 28. RESULTS: Students reported that 'tackling' assignments made them apply their learning more deeply (79.75%; n=63). More than half of the students learned more from doing assignments than studying course material (61.25%; n=49). Majority of students felt they did not receive timely feedback through online assessments (67.5%, n=54)( which impacted their learning. More than half of the students use feedback in preparation for assignments (56.25%; n=45), hence timely and quality feedback is needed. CONCLUSION: Occupational therapy students had a positive experience of online assessments; however, the transition was challenging. It is recommended for lecturers to consider the challenges of online assessments, the number of assessments and timely feedback for an effective online learning process. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE • For online learning to be effective, relevant and timely access to resources and support systems are required. These include internet access, resources like laptops and smartphones which facilitate engagement with remote learning. • The provision of institutional and academic support can positively influence students' experiences of online learning. • Timing and quality of feedback is essential to the online learning experience. Delayed feedback can negatively impact learning, emphasising the importance of timely feedback to aid student growth and improved learning outcomes. • Students' experiences and perceptions of how they receive feedback change over time. Thus, personalised feedback focusing on improvement rather than comparison to peers should be emphasised in the learning environments to which they are exposed. • The importance of effective time management in students is emphasised for online learning and students need to be equipped with these skills for this mode of learning.
