Pupils discuss assessment feedback

In this video, Andrew's pupils discuss the impact of assessment feedback on their learning.

• Which of their comments strike you as particularly perceptive and important?
• What are the implications of their comments?

Compare their comments with the research quotes given on Handout 5.

• What are the implications of these findings for your own practice?
• What would happen if you stopped giving marks or levels on pupils' work? Why are so many teachers resistant to making this change?
• What are the implications of giving qualitative feedback that "concentrates on specific problems with their work, and gives them both a clear understanding of what is wrong and achievable targets for putting it right"?
• Does this kind of feedback necessarily take much longer to give?
