Project authorization

Within the framework of the Call for Aids of the Research Program in University Teaching REDICE-14 (Universitat de Barcelona), the project "Design, implementation and evaluation of proposals for sustainable feedforward" has been awarded with 3.600€. Such assistance includes the corresponding academic recognition and the free support of the Advisory Service for Research (SAR) as long as the project lasts.

31 teachers from 6 different universities (Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Universitat de les Illes Balears and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) take part in the project "Design, implementation and evaluation of proposals for sustainable feedforward". From EDO, there will participate in the research the following teachers: Georgeta Ion, Marina Tomàs, Maria del Mar Duran, Diego Castro and Aleix Barrera.

The main idea of this project is based on the proposals of Boud & Molloy (2013), according to which it is necessary to reinforce the learning process of students but not by giving unidirectional information from teachers. Positive feedback needs the design of learning opportunities from which, through processes of self-assessment or peer assessment, students can assess the quality of their work. The idea is that they can appropriate and apply the criteria that lead to judge their work and implement future strategies that bring them to a more efficient execution.

Therefore, participant teachers pretend to test different feedback experiences consistent with the state and type of each of its subjects and the type of tasks that demand from their students, and look what are most effective.
