This is a comprehensive document that emphasises and reminds us of the value of feedback for effective learning and teaching.
From Curtin University’s ‘Teaching and Learning at Curtin (2010)’, the article refers to Phil Race’s book ‘Making Learning Happen’, in mentioning the fine balance between the effectiveness and efficiency of both providing and receiving feedback. Good feedback helps students learn effectively and helps teachers work efficiently. The higher ‘payoff’ forms of feedback are listed as:
self-assessment
students comparing work
individual learning development plans
peer-marking with feedback
constructive questioning within
groups
presentations by students
verbal feedback to individuals
verbal feedback to whole class
verbal feedback to small groups
e-learning with instant feedback
group peer review
sharing model answers
small group tutorials
assessing against learning outcomes
one-to-many email
criterion based written feedback
comments on written work
This is a great article for prompting teachers to reflect on the effectiveness of the feedback they currently provide to students. It includes timely, personalised, manageable and constructive suggestions for giving and receiving formative feedback, to maximise the ‘learning payoff’.
