What kind of feedback do you give? • Praise – motivating but can appear insincere if overused • Recognising Progress (ipsative) – motivating and informs students about their learning – lack of progress can be an early warning • Critique – how work ‘falls short’, discouraging if no information for improvement • Advice – helps students take future action to improve • Clarification requests – ask students to reflect on their work and self-generate actions • Unclassified statements – neutral statement, non-judgemental http://www.ioe.ac.uk/Study_Departments/LCE_Guidelines_feedback_profiling_tool.pdf
Assessment and Feedback Strategies to fosterLearning Success, Engagement and Retention • Articulating expectations • Engaging students by scaffolding and integrating assessment within the curriculum • Timely provision of feedback • Encouraging independent modes of learning to aid future learning • Helping students make sense of assessment by taking a whole-of-program approach Adapted from Kift, S.
