Questão 96845

Within the framework of formative assessment, 'feedback' is a cornerstone. However, not all feedback is equally effective. Educational research highlights that feedback should be specific, actionable, and focused on the task rather than the learner. Imagine a high school student submits a draft of an English essay. Below are four potential feedback comments from the teacher.

I. 'Good effort, but you need to work harder on your grammar.'

II. 'The thesis statement in your first paragraph is unclear. It should explicitly state the three main points you intend to argue in the subsequent paragraphs.'

III. 'You are a very talented writer! This is a great piece.'

IV. 'In paragraph three, you use a strong example, but the connection back to your main argument is not explicit. Consider adding a concluding sentence that reiterates this link.'

Which comments exemplify the principles of effective formative feedback?
