dc.description.abstractAlgebra is a branch of mathematics that substitutes letters for numbers. It is the gatekeeper course to advanced study in mathematics. However, students always face difficulty and have misconceptions in learning algebraic expression and it influences their cognitive development. Meanwhile, educational technology has served as an important tool in improving teaching and learning process, including computer-based testing (CBT), which students can be accessed and receive valuable timely feedback on their performance. This study aimed to determine the effects of computer-based testing (CBT) feedback on students’ achievement and errors in algebraic expressions. At the same time, it contributed to build a richer picture of students’ view of feedback, by finding out how the CBT feedback delivered was perceived by students. Moreover, it explored if there is any significant difference between genders of the effect of CBT feedback for students’ achievement and errors in algebraic expressions. A pre-test/post-test quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. The findings suggest that there are significant effects of CBT feedback on students’ achievement and errors in algebraic expressions. Besides, there is no significant difference in achievement between male and female students. Meanwhile, there is inconclusive difference of the effects of CBT feedback between genders on students’ errors and it varies according to different errors. Lastly, students’ perception towards the CBT feedback delivered was revealed. This study highlights the important of feedback’s structure and criteria for it to be effective, the role of Ohlsson’s Theory - Learning from Performance Errors (1996) in feedback, and the advantage of using CBT in giving immediate feedback to students.en_US
