Whilst the marking process is a well explored area, there is limited analysis of the influences that shape the intention grading decision at the point at which it is made. This can be particularly important when those influences may vary during the marking process making reflective analyses also difficult to explore. We draw upon a small sample of assessed scripts from two UK HEIs and undertake a factor analysis of potentially important influences that shape the grading decision at the cognitive point it is made. Our findings indicate that for the sample analysed, the markers most important influences were those associated with the normative view of marking although they also suggest potential influences from when the script was graded and the fatigue of the marker concerned. The work is confined to undergraduate management students and limited by the sample size.A factor analysis reveals the cluster of influences that contribute to observed grade outcomes, but provides less clarity upon relative interdependencies between those factors.There are additional constraints in that the constructed data collection tool was self administered. The data collection instrument (VBA Excel workbook) is we believe, quite innovative in capturing immediate cognitive reflections. It could be developed for other decision making research. We also believe there are staff developmental outcomes from the work, to sustain and enhance assurance in the grading process. As far as we can determine, research that has explored the influences shaping grading and mark allocation tends to be reflective or after the event. Our research data is constructed at the same time as the grade / mark is determined.

认知影响塑造成绩决策

虽然标记过程是一个研究很好的领域，但是对影响意图分级决策的影响的分析有限。当这些影响在标记过程中可能会发生变化，从而使得反射性分析也难以探索时，这尤其重要。我们从来自两个英国高校的评估脚本中抽取一小部分样本，并对可能产生的重要影响因素进行因素分析，从而在做出认知点时对评分做出决定。我们的发现表明，对于所分析的样本，标记最重要的影响是那些与标记的规范性观点相关的标记，尽管它们还暗示了从脚本分级和相关标记疲劳程度起的潜在影响。这项工作仅限于管理专业的本科生，并且受样本量的限制。因素分析揭示了影响观察成绩的一系列因素，但对这些因素之间的相对相互依存关系的了解较少。收集工具是自行管理的。我们相信，数据收集工具（VBA Excel工作簿）在捕获即时的认知反射方面非常创新。可以将其开发用于其他决策研究。我们还认为，工作有员工发展成果，可以在分级过程中维持和增强保证。据我们所能确定的，已经探究了影响定级和标记分配的影响的研究往往是反思性的或事件发生后的。
