Making Sense of Assessment Feedback in Higher Education

The focus of the review is on the feedback that students receive within their coursework from multiple sources. The aims of this study are to (a) examine the nature of assessment feedback in HE through the undertaking of a systematic review of the literature, (b) identify and discuss dominant themes and discourses and consider gaps within the research literature, (c) explore the notion of the feedback gap in relation to the conceptual development of the assessment feedback field in HE, and (d) discuss implications for future research and practice. From this comprehensive review of the literature, the concept of the feedback landscape, informed by sociocultural and socio-critical perspectives, is developed and presented as a valuable framework for moving the research agenda into assessment feedback in HE forward.

Objectives: The FeedForward Interview (FFI) is a means of structuring conversations (Kluger & Nir, 2006), such as performance appraisals, or indeed coaching in organisations. Conceptually situated in a positive psychological paradigm, FFI techniques build on appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider & Srivastva, 1987), positive psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2002) and Feedback Intervention Theory (Kluger & DeNisi, 1996). Design: We conducted a quasi-experimental longitudinal study allocating 54 participants randomly to either a FFI or Feedback-based coaching intervention. Methods: We measured self-efficacy, mood and strengths-confidence as well goal attainment before and after each intervention.
