Business School Economics division Can multiple small feedback activities improve students’ opinion of feedback and their performance? Evidence from compulsory final year Antonio Rodriguez Gil Leeds University Business School Developments in Economic Education (DEE) 2017. UCL, September 2017 Good morning everyone and thanks for attending this session. My name is ARG, and I’m a teaching fellow at Leeds University. What I want to do in this presentation is to share my experience of introducing up-to three small pieces of formative assessment in my final year macroeconomics module. In particular, whether it has improved students performance of feedback and whether their performance has been enhanced.

Outline Motivation Intervention Existing literature How to evaluate it? (methodology & data) Results Students opinion on feedback Students performance Summary

Motivation Students, were (and still are) dissatisfied with feedback that they received… Including in my module What to do?

Intervention Module: Advanced Macroeconomics: Year 3 compulsory Module 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 Current affairs essay x2 Two essays Max 500words Discuss FT.com articles using theory/empirics Deadline: Any time before end-of-term Feedback within 7days (+ve, -ve, Forward) Seminar Questions x1 So why essays, why several, why small… Seminar 4 Max 600words Deadline: Before seminar Feedback within 7 days (+ve, -ve, Forward) Seminar 2 or 4

Existing literature Grounded on “Seven principles of good feedback” by Nicol and Macfarlane‐Dick (2006) that encompasses Sadler (1989), Black and William (1998). (For econ: Miller et al., 2002 and Guest and Taylor, 2013). According to these authors, good feedback must, … Clarify meaning of good performance (-ve, +ve. Essay as in exam) Transmit high-quality information Timely: (within 7 days-tested) Guide forward (Forward: Where to go next, square-one? how to use in exam?) Towards higher learning (how to apply? analyse? evaluate?) Encourage interactive dialogue (essays, multiples activities) Provide opportunities to close the gap (several pieces) Facilitate self-regulation (open deadline) Foster motivation and self-esteem (opportunity to improve) Improves teaching (open deadline=scatters submission, S2&4)

How to evaluate intervention? Students satisfaction (2013.14-2016-17): Module evaluation (School’s survey) Ad-hoc Feedback survey Student performance (only 2016-17) (applying for funding to go back to 2013.14): Intervention amounts to a quasi-experiment: Students opt-into the activity(-ies), cannot randomly select who participates and who does not. “Self-selection problem”: Only “good students” might be participating Use Year2 macroeconomics grades to separate: 40-49 No, participation Yes, participation 50-59 60-69 No, participation Yes, participation 70-79 +80

DATA Module: Advanced Macroeconomics: Year 3 compulsory Module About 1/3 of students Current affairs are generally more popular, but both activities well participated

Results: Improvement in students opinion? Source: Module evaluation (School’s survey)

Results: What they (dis-)like? More detail… Source: Ad-hoc Feedback survey (Antonio’s survey)

Results: Students performance (2016.17)? No or little impact, obs? n=38 n=10 n=45 Year 2 Macro n=11 +ve impact n=25 n=12 n=3 +ve n=4 Year 3 Macro Caveat: More data needed (2013.14-2015.16, 400obs approx.) Source: Matching performance Y2 & Y3 against participation in feedback

Summary Multiple small feedback activities improve students satisfaction substantially (Nearly double)! Students’ performance also improves, but only for 2:1 and above students! Next steps involve… More data needed (2013.14-2015.16) If initial results are confirmed: How to make sure all students benefit from feedback?

Seminar Question essay   MCQ 1-minute paper Mock Exam Current Affairs essay Seminar Question essay Clarifies meaning good performance High-quality information: Timely Forward x  Direct to higher learning  x Encourages interactive dialogue Opportunity to close gap Facilitates self- regulation & assessment Fosters motivation and self-esteem Improves teaching
