Treffer: WIP: A Study Report in a Web Technologies Course: What Makes Feedback Effective for Project-based Learning?

In this work-in-progress paper, we report our experience of applying project-based learning (PjBL) in a web technology course, with a focus on how different feedback tactics affect students' learning outcomes. Giving high-quality feedback can have an immediate impact on students' learning progress. Although process-level feedback is considered more effective than task-level feedback in traditional pedagogies, it is still unclear whether this conclusion can be exacerbated or mitigated when applied to PjBL, as PjBL emphasizes students' ownership and authenticity. We divided students into two groups and applied different feedback strategies. We report findings and insights to help instructors develop feedback policies and practices that are effective and likely to benefit students. Our results suggest that giving low-level feedback still improves students' learning outcomes in the context of PjBL, especially for technical tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
