Core AQA science unit feedback system designed to automate feedback in books for students.
This can be used and adapted for any subject!
I have just had a HMI/ Ofsted observed me using this for feedback and received really good feedback on it. 9/10/15. Message me if any problems. Feedback welcome- if you cant get it to work then i would rather you message me for help 1st.
Students score themselves 1, 2 or 3 in terms of confidence/ ability on a subject/ lesson I teach. 1= low confidence/ needs easy questions and/or extra help. 3 is stretch and challenge questions and/or top end questions. 3 can be same question but with less support or can be a question that vaguely links to the topic and student are required to push them selves to find out answers. Once students have scored themselves, (I also have a discussion with students on their scores if I disagree) then the fun begins! Each number 1, 2 or 3 links to a varied comment, (other subjects can adapt and change the comment banks to suit their subject). This comment is transferred into a mail merged tab on the spreadsheet. The separate word document uses this mail merge tab on the spreadsheet to input the score linked comments into a printable sheet for each student. I then print this 2 pages on 1 sheet of A4 and on pink paper, so it stands out as teacher feedback in students books.
Students proceed to answer their allocated questions in green pen. Students can then uses the answer booklets to self or peer mark their responses to their individual feedback. When students are completing their feedback I spend time whizzing through their books to highlight literacy based mistakes. The end result is all students get individual feedback on every lesson I teach in this unit. My comments are exam question linked. The spreadsheet scores are are Red, Amber and Green colour coded, so I can easily see where I need to focus revision efforts with the whole class or individuals. When it comes to revision, I revisit the scores with students, update these and hey presto- print another feedback sheet with different questions! I have spent a lot of time working on these and our SLT are happy for me to use this method of feedback in books, (along side checking for literacy). You can edit or alter the comment bank anytime and update and change the feedback depending on your group, skills or topics covered. My questions are sourced from exam papers and some answers etc were sourced from BBC bitesize e.g, a few of the tables and info for small summaries.
When opening each word document for mail merge, 'find source' may eventually pop up after some errors tracing the data file source. The source you need to select will be the Excel spreadsheet with student scores on. You will then need to select the core mail merge option if this pops up after. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Currently working on the Additional Physics version of this.
