HEAPHY 1 & 2 RADIOTHERAPY Melissa HIGSON Fri 30th Aug 2013 Session 2 / Talk 3 11:05 – 11:20 ABSTRACT Feedback is a vital aspect to improve learning. It is imperative that we as teachers provide optimal learning opportunities for our students, and feedback plays a major role in this. From previous difficult teaching experiences I have been involved in, I identified that the feedback process is one aspect that could be improved. I instigated a project on providing effective feedback as part of the Higher Education HEDU/X 502 paper I completed in 2013. Three third year Radiation Therapy students were invited to participate in this study. Verbal and written feedback was analysed and compared to evaluate the implementation of effective feedback tools. Verbal feedback was received from the students after each feedback encounter, and written feedback was obtained from mini clinical assessments I performed before and during the study. Questionnaires were also completed by the students and their clinical tutor after the study. This small project reinforced the current literature regarding effective feedback delivery. Effective feedback should be specific, delivered in an appropriate environment, and includes self-reflection, post-feedback summaries and specific suggestions for improvement. It has been identified that simple changes can be introduced to improve the feedback experience for both the student and the teacher.
