Details:
Formative feedback is generated by teachers as strategies to engage learners into the constantly reflection on how they can approach, orient, and evaluate learning, thus leading to successful learning outcomes.
This project adopts a quasi-experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of formative feedback strategies on students’ academic and psychological outcomes. A sample of students will be invited to join the experimental group (with specific formative feedback strategies) or the control group (without specific formative feedback strategies). The psychological and academic outcomes will be assessed to give information regarding the effectiveness of the strategies, through a questionnaire and content analysis of students’ course work.
The artifacts shown in this site are the collection of formative feedback strategies developed from the project.
