- This study examined the perceived impact of formative assessment and humour on the learning experience and the development of graduate attributes of business undergraduate students. Data from 236 valid respondents of a questionnaire was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling method. The conceptual framework for this study is based on Dewey’s theory of reflective thought and action and Ziv’s theory of the attention-gaining and holding power of humour. Findings indicate positive and significant roles played by formative assessment and humour in enhancing learning experience and student development. It was found that applied academic writing and poster presentations were student-centered learning methods that had a positive impact on learning experience and successfully supported differentiated learners. Humour was found to add value to students’ overall learning experience. The findings of this study will provide higher education institutions with a set of considerations for devising formative assessment strategies and practices that will successfully enhance students’ learning and the development of their competences.
