Can grades be an effective form of feedback?

Abstract: Although grades are often portrayed as detrimental to students’ motivation and interest in learning, closer analysis of the evidence indicates that when used appropriately, grades can be a meaningful and effective form of feedback. Thomas R. Guskey clarifies how studies on grades are frequently misinterpreted, explains how grades offer important but insufficient information on students’ learning progress, and describes conditions that must be met for grades to serve as a meaningful and effective form of feedba… Show more

“…This indicates that the students' academic performance shows learning consistency despite the challenges faced in the new learning modality. This is supported by the claim of Guskey (2022), who said that in schools required to give grades for the current term, even when not all students have adequate access, grades are typically based on evidence of student learning gathered up to the time of school closure.…”

“…Pēdējos gados starptautisko pētījumu rezultāti liecina, ka, lai uzlabotu skolēnu sniegumu un skolas efektivitāti kopumā, DBLP pieeju ir svarīgi ieviest ne tikai skolas, bet arī klases līmenī (McNaughton et al, 2012;Lai et al, 2014;Poortman & Schildkamp, 2016) un skolēna līmenī (Muñoz & Guskey, 2015;Guskey, 2022). Dažādu vērtēšanas darbu datu padziļināta analīze, izvērtējot standarta sasniedzamo rezultātu apguvi, sniedz skolotājam priekšstatu par to, ko skolēni ir apguvuši un ko vēl nepieciešams apgūt.…”

“…First, the level of relevance plays an important role in explaining the differential associations between prior academic achievement and conscientiousness. Academic achievement with a high level of relevance, especially school grades, is often used as a benchmark for students' educational and occupational qualifications (Ryan & Weinstein, 2009) and can be used as effective feedback on the current progress toward their goals (Guskey, 2022). Therefore, achievement measures with high relevance (e.g., school grades) may give students stronger incentives to be achievement‐oriented and work harder in the future than achievement measures with lower relevance with less meaningful feedback on their progress (e.g., voluntary achievement tests).…”
