Abstract:Publishers of learning materials in Dutch primary education are publishing new digital teaching methods. A new way of providing feedback emerges. Noordhoff Uitgevers published ´Getal & Ruimte Junior´ with four feedback types integrated. Two of these feedback types are the focus of this study: right/wrong feedback and tailored feedback. This study provides information regarding which feedback types works best for enhancing pupils´ achievement and self-efficacy. A quasi, mixed method, experimental design was utilized to determine which feedback type works best. Pupils attending grade four were appointed to either one of the two conditions: only right/wrong feedback or right/wrong feedback in combination with tailored feedback. The pupils took the Tempo Toets Rekenen, an automated math skills test, as means of a pre-test. After that pupils made several math exercises in Getal & Ruimte Junior, while either seeing only right/wrong feedback or right/wrong feedback in combination with tailored feedback. Next, they filled in a self-efficacy questionnaire. And last, they took a post-test (several math exercises with only right/wrong feedback). Mixed method analyses showed no significance regarding tailored feedback increasing math achievement in comparison to right/wrong feedback. Neither did it increase pupil’s self-efficacy.
