[EN]The integration of Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) has generated a change in teaching methodologies au
university level. The objective of this study is to check the
effectiveness of interactive processes in summative assessment or
learning-oriented assessment contexts using electronic self assessment processes (Java application) versus the use of audience
response systems (ARS) or “clickers” in the classroom, from the
point of view of students’ satisfaction measurement.
The sample for this study is composed by the students of the first
year of the Degree on Dentistry of the School of Medicine of the
University of Salamanca, and which was carried out by means of
a questionnaire, where 1 stood for total disagreement and 7 for
absolute agreement; together with an statistical analysis (Conbach
alpha) that allows us to value the reliability of the answers
obtained.
Results reflect the students’ answers to the questionnaire, as well
as the relationship between the two systems. To conclude, there
are certain coincidences when judging both assessment tools, but
we also observe that there is a better predisposition towards Java
system rather than to clickers. The job done by a coordinated
interdisciplinary team formed by members of different areas has
made it possible to build and validate interesting pedagogical
materials, as well as to develop formative assessment strategies
that could be generalized to other subjects in different degrees.
