The objective of this research was to investigate the factors of assessment that students undergoing authentic assessment perceived to be significant regarding their academic achievement. This project advanced past research by the authors which found that the academic achievement of seafarer students was significantly higher in a formatively implemented authentic assessment compared with a summative traditional assessment. The academic achievement (assessment scores) was based on the students’ performance in analysing information presented in a real-world context (authentic assessment) as opposed to the analysis of information presented devoid of a real-world context (traditional assessment). Using the data obtained from students undergoing the authentic assessment, this project correlated their perceptions of authenticity for factors of assessment to their scores in the associated task. Stage 1 focused on deriving the factors conceptually from the definition of the authentic assessment by the authors, based on which a perception survey questionnaire was designed. Stage 2 extracted new factors through a factor analysis conducted using the software SPSS. Both stages of investigation found that the factor of transparency of criteria was a significant predictor of the students’ academic achievement.

调查学生对评估真实性的感知与他们在相关评估任务中的学业成绩之间的相关性

本研究的目的是调查那些接受真实评估的学生认为对他们的学业成绩具有重要意义的评估因素。该项目推进了作者过去的研究，该研究发现，与总结性传统评估相比，海员学生的学业成绩在形成性实施的真实评估中明显更高。学业成绩（评估分数）是基于学生在分析现实世界环境中呈现的信息（真实评估）方面的表现，而不是分析没有现实世界背景的信息（传统评估）。使用从接受真实评估的学生那里获得的数据，该项目将他们对评估因素真实性的看法与他们在相关任务中的分数联系起来。第 1 阶段的重点是从作者对真实评估的定义中从概念上推导出这些因素，并在此基础上设计了感知调查问卷。第 2 阶段通过使用 SPSS 软件进行的因子分析提取新因子。两个阶段的调查都发现，标准的透明度因素是学生学业成绩的重要预测因素。
