The Impact of Ungrading on Student Learning and Engagement in an Ethics in Exercise Science Course: A Case Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Systems of higher education have been founded in formal grading structures for several decades. However, recent data has shown that traditional letter grades may not be effective for true student learning and engagement. Pedagogical data shows traditional grading formats are not always effective in evaluating learning. Ungrading is a system of assessment that can provide deeper learning and ins increased student engagement. A case study addresses the question of the impact of ungrading on student learning and engagement. Survey data collected in an exercise science course addressed feelings about ungrading, its impact on learning, and class engagement. Findings supported an increase in engagement in conversations, focus on the learning process, decrease in stress, and an increase in course enjoyment.
