Impact of students’ performance in the continuous assesment methodology through Moodle on the final exam
2017
[EN] This paper looks into the different evolution of students’ online questionnaire performance and its impact on the final examination mark.

Using cluster analysis, we identify different groups of performance evolution. The evidence obtained suggests that in one of this groups a favourable test performance evolution may lead to overconfidence with the subsequent negative effect on the final examination mark. Future research with more variables and bigger samples will help identifying this student profile with a view to preven…

Our results show that gender is significantly associated to this fact, i.e. women tend to participate more in this activity and the final exam m…
