Thematic analysis of both student and staff data demonstrated that EAFT provided staff with information relating to teaching qualities and the learning experience of students. TFT delivered information regarding the organisational aspects of lessons. Reflection using the EAFT granted more personal and thought-provoking feedback, emphasising its student-centred structure. Emotional engagement might make the process of feedback more meaningful for students DISCUSSION: Completing the EAFT encouraged students to reflect upon their learning, providing feedback for staff that was more student-centred; however, it remains clear that various tools work for different feedback objectives, environments and students.
