Effective Feedback Practices in Formative Assessment : Recognizing the Relevance
Feedback is proposed to be a critical element of formative assessment (FA) butĀ evidence reflects its sparseĀ and incongruous implementation . Current study on feedback sessions post formative assessment was undertaken to establish the extent to which it can make significant contribution in improving learning outcomes and the learnersā perception about the same when compared to written feedback comments in answer sheets, which is a routine practice. An Experimental, Randomized, Controlled study with sample population being students in first phase of medical curriculum , were randomized into cases (n= 37) and matched controls ( n= 38) . The cases underwent feedback sessions after formative assessment. Difference in scores between cases and controls in Summative assessment was statistically significant (P = 0.002). Scores in formative and Summative assessment was statistically non-significant (p = 0.30) within controls (n=38) and statistically significant (P = 0.006) within cases ( n= 37). Qualitative analysis was done for comparing the utility and efficacy of feedback sessions compared to written comments on answer sheets. Study concludes that feedback sessions post - formative assessment, irrespective of success, may determine greater involvement of students in learning process and improve learning outcome. The tutors should be made aware of proper feedback techniques and tailor feedback sessions according to specific needs. Students should be made conscious of various assessment process so that they become cognizant of seeking feedback. Keywords : Formative assessmentĀ , Written comments ,Ā Feedback session
