Dialogic Feedback - Collective Feedback

The following examples describe feedback practices in giving collective feedback verbally on written assignment and past exam papers regarding students’ commonly made mistakes.

Example 1:

Description: Provide collective feedback verbally on written assignment regarding students’ commonly made mistakes

What teacher does (and when) –
• Gives feedback after each tutorial submission to the whole class at the beginning of the lecture on common errors;
• Provides instructions for postgraduate students on how to mark student work on the tutorial problems; and
• Asks the postgraduate students to summarize their observations and things that are important to tell the students

Example 2:
