Abstract:

Student feedback highlights the importance of monitoring progress when solving complex engineering problems, especially those involving multi-step solutions. In response to this need, this paper presents a new approach to designing electronic progressive feedback tasks using the automatic assessment system STACK. The main goal is to enable students to receive feedback at every stage of the problem-solving process, allowing them to identify errors and effectively improve their understanding. This article describes developing an interface for user input questions, systematically breaking it down into a series of elementary sub-exercises. These sub-exercises assess the correctness of problem-solving at specific stages, improving students' ability to monitor their progress and identify areas for improvement. The methodology used here ensures that feedback is provided quickly and comprehensively, facilitating a more iterative and effective learning process. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is supported by peer review, which highlights the potential of incorporating progressive feedback mechanisms into electronic problem-solving environments to improve student learning outcomes in engineering education.
