Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Academic Writing Instruction

Background:

  • Students often prefer feed-forward (pre-submission comments) over traditional feedback.
  • Existing literature lacks clear guidance on the optimal method for delivering feed-forward.
  • Common feed-forward methods include comments on outlines or drafts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of feed-forward provided on assignment drafts versus outlines.
  • To determine the optimal approach for enhancing student learning through feed-forward.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental study design was used.
  • 118 third-year undergraduate nursing students were divided into two groups (control and intervention).
  • The control group received feed-forward on outlines, while the intervention group received it on drafts.

Main Results:

  • Students receiving feed-forward on drafts demonstrated higher overall assignment and academic writing scores.
  • The intervention group required fewer instructor clarifications regarding feedback.
  • Feed-forward on drafts was found to be more beneficial for reinforcing student learning.

Conclusions:

  • Feed-forward is an effective strategy for improving students' subsequent academic work.
  • Providing feed-forward on drafts is superior to providing it on outlines for enhancing student learning.
