Abstract

The study aimed at revealing the students’ perception and practices on the utilization of screencast feedback in writing class as digital video feedback where lecturers recorded their oral comments and screen-records the point they commented on the screen toward students’ writing draft in the form of audiovisual or video. This research was a survey designed for the students in an academic writing class who had a two-month experience using “Screencast-O-Matic”. By the end of the semester, they were asked to fill out 10 questionnaire items through Google forms. The participants were university students who were divided into three categories; competent writers, moderate writers, and incompetent writers at Universitas Islam Darul ‘Ulum Lamongan, Indonesia. These categories were drawn from the scores of final drafts of their article writing. The findings revealed several underlying reasons beyond students’ preference for screencast feedback to written feedback. They perceived screencast feedback positively as it was clearer to understand than only written one, easier to access anywhere at any time, and more helpful to assist them in revising their draft. Another finding indicated that self-motivation and discipline had an impact on the result of the draft revision, especially for competent writers. The conclusion drawn from the study was that students perceived screencast feedback more positively than written feedback. Therefore, the study had an implication for the lecturers of writing courses, especially in blended or online learning environments to make use of more sophisticated technology like screencast feedback to produce more understandable feedback.
