Auto-feedback to improve academic performance

This study was carried out on first-year engineering students in the subject of technical drawing, an eminently practical that requires continuous development spatial vision and also should devote time effort to it from very beginning. For we designed auto-feedback activity be applied experimental group. The aim determine whether improved by this means their capacity for self-regulation ultimately academic performance. included group obtained higher scores end-of-year questionnaire (78.5) than those control (66.47). There a highly significant correlation (r=0.60; p<0.05) between final grade class attendance rate. Although treatment did not directly influence grades analysis overall variance, have indirect effect through variable; attended significantly more classes (82.2% vs. 68.6%; p<0.05). In fact, comparison average showed marks (6.97/10) (3.8/10).
