Abstract
Effective learning and good feedback provision are essential approaches to improving students’ learning, becoming aware of students’ views, and improving teaching abilities via formative feedback. Based on formative assessment through action research, this study investigates the impact of university students’ feedback on the learning process. Data were gathered from seven groups, with around 25 students in each group, from the Faculty of CEM at DMU during the spring semester of 2019/2020. The findings revealed that positive and negative feedback was provided, suggesting that one of the many ways to ensure high feedback standards is to provide detailed feedback, ensuring accuracy and understanding by encouraging more students to participate and reflect on their learning process and experience. The findings can also serve as the baselines for future learning-environment research.
