Abstract

Feedback can be effective to student learning if the feedback practice meets several success criteria. It appears, however, that it is not easy to put insights from theory into practice. Using a cover sheet to provide structured feedback may provide a solution. Just how cover sheets influence feedback practice is, however, still largely unknown. The present study offers an in-depth evaluation of the effects of the implementation of cover sheets on feedback practice. The study described in this article gathered data from almost 1000 feedback instances, from tutor and student interviews and from a student questionnaire. The analysis shows that the use of the cover sheet led to an increased use of feed up, feed forward and feedback on process level. Tutors and students valued the use of the cover sheet as positive, and the cover sheet helped students resolve issues better than with annotations alone. The study described in this article adds to the field of research by providing empirical data for how a cover sheet influences educational practice. The study furthermore shows that a cover sheet can be used to enhance student feedback literacy and it offers background for an easy to introduce educational intervention.

摘要

如果反馈实践满足多个成功标准，则反馈对于学生的学习可能是有效的。然而，将理论上的见解付诸实践似乎并不容易。使用封面提供结构化的反馈可以提供解决方案。然而，关于封面如何影响反馈实践的知识仍然鲜为人知。本研究提供了对反馈实践封面练习的影响的深入评估。本文所述的研究从近1000个反馈实例，导师和学生的访谈以及学生的调查表中收集了数据。分析表明，使用盖板可以增加进料，前馈和工艺水平反馈的使用。导师和学生认为封面的使用是积极的，封面比单独使用注释更能帮助学生解决问题。本文介绍的研究通过提供有关封面如何影响教育实践的经验数据，增加了研究领域。这项研究进一步表明，封面可以用来提高学生的反馈素养，并且为易于引入教育干预提供了背景。
