<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cBy providing students with clear guidance and good quality, consistent feedback that is personalised and tailored to the individual and which includes links to helpful \u2018feedforward\u2019 resources, we are seeing an increase in students better reaching their potential. As a team, we are working to ensure that this excellent practice is represented throughout all modules in the Foundation Degree in Learning and Teaching (FDLT).” <\/p>\nAbbie Deeming<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Feedback from Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the use of rubrics on the FDLT programme, comments from students were very positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI found the marking rubric very helpful to see how I met the criteria for each LO [Learning Outcome] and for what I need to be more careful with in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThe rubric is very clear and helpful. Being presented as a grid means it\u2019s easy to read and can be used as a checklist when reading through assignments before submitting. The feedback is really detailed and helpful. I know now what I need to focus on to improve my next one!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI found the marking rubric very useful as it clearly outlines what needs to be covered within the assignment. I could also find the little fine details within the marking rubric too, even the formatting. The feedback I found very useful too. In fact I would like to email my appreciation. Overall the feedback was very good as it broke down everything that needs to be improved on, whilst also highlighting the excellent bits from the assignment.\u00a0Although the feedback was “savage”, I understand it has to be to help us as writers improve. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI thought that the feedback was very useful. I keep looking back at it then looking at my report to see what I can improve.\u00a0It was very helpful and hopefully next time I improve.\u00a0Many thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe rubric gave me lots of confidence as I was able to easily see what my strengths were.\u00a0Overall, I’m thrilled with the feedback. I’m under a lot of stress at the moment but I’m pleased I’ve still produced a good piece of work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Example <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Below is a copy of the assessment guidance and the marking rubric, created for PDT1065: Pupil Engagement and Assessment.\u00a0The purpose of the module is to engage students in studying the theory and practice of supporting learning, the assessment of learning and of learner needs, and principles of planning to advance learning. It also provides students with the opportunity to develop their own study skills.\u00a0The assessment is a 3,250 word report, exploring both formative and summative assessment, reflecting on current practices within a setting and referring to relevant literature on the subject of assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
