Abstract

Feedback is the key ingredient from which we grow. This paper contributes to the literature on student feedback in higher education, specifically within work-based learning. It provides an overview of the usability, utility and impact of a freely available feedback tool, the 5 min feedback form (5MFF). The 5MFF was constructed for use within physiotherapy and is being utilised across clinical placement sites in Ireland. The generalisability of its structure allows for transferability across healthcare professions and other work-based disciplines. A multi-site cross-sectional study utilising convenience sampling across a diverse range of placement settings was conducted. Physiotherapy students, practice educators and practice tutors were surveyed on their experience and perceptions of the 5MFF. Findings indicate strong agreement in relation to ease of use, speed of completion and the form’s ability to structure and provide timely feedback. Results support its capacity to encourage feedback prioritisation, identify strengths and weaknesses, direct learning, modify behaviours and facilitate the achievement of goals and objectives. Through facilitating collaborative dialogue the 5MFF supports the feedback conversation through raising awareness of student challenges or practice educator and tutor concerns. Utilisation of the 5MFF during physiotherapy clinical education supports effective feedback delivery and enables a positive feedback process.

摘要

反馈是我们成长的关键因素。本文对高等教育中关于学生反馈的文献做出了贡献，特别是在基于工作的学习中。它概述了免费提供的反馈工具，即 5 分钟反馈表 (5MFF) 的可用性、实用性和影响。5MFF 是为在物理治疗中使用而构建的，目前正在爱尔兰的临床安置点中使用。其结构的通用性允许跨医疗保健专业和其他基于工作的学科的可转移性。进行了一项多站点横断面研究，该研究利用跨各种安置设置的便利抽样。物理治疗学生、实践教育者和实践导师接受了他们对 5MFF 的体验和看法的调查。调查结果表明，在易用性、完成速度以及表单构建和提供及时反馈的能力方面具有很强的一致性。结果支持其鼓励反馈优先级、确定优势和劣势、指导学习、改变行为和促进目标和目标的实现的能力。通过促进协作对话，5MFF 通过提高对学生挑战或实践教育者和导师关注的认识来支持反馈对话。在物理治疗临床教育期间使用 5MFF 支持有效的反馈传递并实现积极的反馈过程。直接学习、改变行为并促进目标和目标的实现。通过促进协作对话，5MFF 通过提高对学生挑战或实践教育者和导师关注的认识来支持反馈对话。在物理治疗临床教育期间使用 5MFF 支持有效的反馈传递并实现积极的反馈过程。直接学习、改变行为并促进目标和目标的实现。通过促进协作对话，5MFF 通过提高对学生挑战或实践教育者和导师关注的认识来支持反馈对话。在物理治疗临床教育期间使用 5MFF 支持有效的反馈传递并实现积极的反馈过程。
