The aim of this project was exploring the effects of self-assessment scripts on performance, self-regulation and self-efficacy using a quasi-experimental design. The treatment group used the self-assessment scripts while the other acted as the control group. The instruments used to measure self-regulation were the MSLQ questionnaire and another specific questionnaire for the tasks of the course (problem solving). Self-efficacy was also measured by a specific questionnaire. Performance measurements were four group assignments, two partial exams and the final exam of the course.
