In Brazil, student and faculty perceptions of educational feedback are shaped by sociocultural context and past experiences. Honest feedback is often seen as criticism, impacting learning and skill development.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Qualitative Research
- Sociocultural Psychology
Background:
- Feedback is vital for learner development, but its interpretation varies culturally.
- Students often report dissatisfaction with feedback quality and quantity.
- Faculty face challenges in delivering effective feedback, requiring empathy and credibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore undergraduate student and faculty perceptions of feedback.
- To investigate feedback dynamics within a Brazilian private nursing school context.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study utilizing Inductive Content Analysis.
- Symbolic interactionism framework for data interpretation.
- Five virtual focus groups (1 faculty, 4 student) with semi-structured interviews.
Main Results:
- Two categories emerged: 'Sociocultural Influences' and 'Navigating Dualities of Feedback'.
- Faculty feedback is influenced by past experiences and their self-perception.
- Students perceive feedback's learning potential, but sociocultural context in Brazil can lead to feedback being viewed as criticism.
Conclusions:
- Faculty adapt feedback based on prior experiences and prioritize positive student relationships.
- Students value feedback for learning and personal growth.
- Sociocultural context significantly shapes feedback perception in Brazilian nursing education.
