Student involvement and management of students' workload in formative assessment in higher education

The aim of this study is to analyze what is the relationship between involvement and the organization and distribution of work that have university students in connection with formative assessment received. The sample is 3.304 students for 50 subjects in 16 Spanish universities. Scale Assessment Systems belonging to the questionnaire on the evaluation methodology and initial teacher is used, in which there are different issues about formative assessment. It has used a quantitative descriptive analysis (means, variances and DT) and inferential (contingency tables and chi(2), correlation and ANOVA). Students welcome this evaluation system received, assuming the need to be involved from the beginning in the subject and find strategies to regulate their work. It also demonstrates that students who participated more often in these assessment processes present a higher level of involvement, which also happens to fourth grade students. However, the fact that he enrolled one or more times in the same subject does not show significance with greater or lesser involvement
