Feedback no Processo de Aprendizagem: proposta de estruturação e implicações percebidas por estudantes de Administração

Abstract

Feedback is considered an important element in the student learning process. This study aims to analyze the contribution of using feedback for student learning in the perception of students enrolled in Business Administration undergraduate courses at UFPB (Federal University of Paraíba). Additionally, it describes the implementation of the feedback strategy within the mentioned course to facilitate its replication by other instructors. The course incorporates feedback at three different moments throughout its execution. The study adopts a basic qualitative research approach, utilizing participant observation and analyzing reports extracted from questionnaires answered by the students. The investigation's results reveal that students tend to value feedback and consider it important for both their professional and academic lives. Moreover, they believe that effective feedback should be immediate, provided individually, and may be given orally or in writing, becoming a continuous, clear, objective, and quality practice. Furthermore, the study contributes to the structuring of the feedback process as a teaching strategy, considering the operationalization, rules, and specificities to be observed during its implementation.
