Designing the learning environment of virtual education based on creative assessment methods and its impact on the learning of the second year elementary school students

Assessment is an important issue in the education process that must be present in all stages of education, which include: initial assessment, formative assessment and final assessment. By selecting and adding virtual education learning tools and facilities to the teaching and learning process and turning it into an interactive and constructive educational activity, as well as using active learning environment design patterns such as 5E in schools, learning can be increased in students.

The purpose of this research is to design a learning environment for virtual education based on creative methods of assessment and to determine its impact on the learning of second grade elementary school students.

The current research design was carried out in two stages by using the combined or mixed research method. The first stage of the research was conducted using the content analysis method, using the literature of the virtual education learning environment based on the creative methods of measuring and learning students, along with the latest domestic and foreign written articles through databases. The second stage of the research was conducted using a quasi-experimental method in the form of a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was elementary school students of Hefde district of Tehran. In this research, purposeful sampling was used. The sample of this research included sixth grade students of 17 Shahrivar primary school in the academic year of 1401-1402. The number of these students was 60, and in this research, they were randomly replaced in the test and control groups (30 people in each group).

The results show that the difference between the post-test scores in the two experimental and control groups is significant. The significance level of the findings is 95% confidence. In this research, creative and new measurement methods that have been less used so far were used in the design of the 5E learning environment and it was observed that these creative and new measurement methods have an effect on learning.

Therefore, the design of the learning environment based on creative assessment methods has an effect on learning and its dimensions, including involvement, exploration, explanation, expansion of the subject and reporting of the students of the second year of elementary school.
