Students’ Experiences with an Automated Essay Scorer
The purpose of this research is to analyze preservice teachers’ use of and reactions to an automated essay scorer used within an online, case-based learning environment called ETIPS. Data analyzed include post-assignment surveys, a user log of students’ actions within the cases, instructor-assigned scores on final essays, and interviews with four selected students. These in-depth data about students’ reactions to and opinions of the ETIPS automated essay scorer help inform the field about users’ perceptions of automated scoring.
