  • Participants completed a validated quantitative instrument measuring perceptions of assessment models across three dimensions.
  • Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, and Pearson correlation analyses were conducted using SPSS 30.0.
  • Students view all three assessment models as moderately motivating, while teachers are skeptical about alternative assessments' motivational effectiveness.
