Abstract

Introduction

The aim of this study was to investigate how students perceive the benefit of participating in a teacher-organised session providing feedback on exams, termed post-exam feedback, in two dental hygienist programmes.

Methods

The study was based on interviews with 22 participants, including 18 students and 4 faculty teachers. The data were approached on the basis of thematic analysis, allowing us to generate insights on how the participants reflected on their participation in the post-exam feedback sessions and how they perceived this arrangement as learners.

Results

The findings from the study suggest that motivated students consider post-exam feedback to be beneficial in clearing up uncertainties and deepening their understanding of issues not fully understood during the exam, as well as supporting their further learning. Less motivated students mainly consider post-exam feedback to be relevant for students who do not pass the exams.

Conclusions

Organised in a student-centred way and with attentiveness to student learning preferences, the results suggest that post-exam feedback can be valuable for enhancing assessment and supporting student learning related to exams.

学生对口腔放射学考试后反馈的看法——来自两个牙科卫生学家教育环境的比较研究。

引言：本研究的目的是调查学生如何看待在两个牙科保健师项目中参加教师组织的课程，提供考试反馈（称为考试后反馈）的好处。方法：本研究对22名参与者进行了访谈，其中包括18名学生和4名教师。这些数据是在主题分析的基础上处理的，使我们能够深入了解参与者如何反思他们在考试后反馈会议中的参与，以及他们作为学习者如何看待这种安排。结果：研究结果表明，有积极性的学生认为，考试后的反馈有助于消除不确定性，加深他们对考试中未完全理解的问题的理解，并支持他们的进一步学习。积极性较低的学生主要认为考试后的反馈与未通过考试的学生有关。结论：以学生为中心，关注学生的学习偏好，研究结果表明，考试后的反馈对于加强评估和支持学生与考试相关的学习是有价值的。
