Enhancing the practice of feedback through arts: an integrated open strategy

Abstract

This paper presents the experience conducted in the framework of the Erasmus+ FeedBack Project, which aims at developing the practice of feedback through arts. The article introduces the practice of feedback as essential tool to enhance teaching and learning activities in the different level of education, with a specific focus on higher education. The FeedBack project has developed an Art-Based Feedback Model, which has been firstly defined in terms of actors, who give and receive feedback through different channels. Furthermore, the model has been integrated with the concept of Art-Based Initiatives, directly related to processes of Sustainability, Inspiration and Transformation implemented in teaching and learning contexts. Through an open and integrated virtual and face-to face strategy, that includes a digital toolkit, webinars, Massive Open Online Courses, events and workshops, the Arts-based FeedBack Model has been disseminated in several countries, stimulating the discussion and innovating the teaching and learning practices. This strategy lead to positive outcomes in terms of raising awareness of the topic, supporting the design and personalisation of the feedback process itself and, thus, enhancing the teaching and learning experience, especially in higher education contexts.

As Perdue [26] argues, incorporating the practice and development of 21st century skills into the higher education humanities classroom does not necessarily require a great rethinking of the education model or content delivery. Rather, it could be as simple as encouraging faculty to use proven educational principles such as active learning and group-based learning into the classroom.…”

“…Artal-Sevil et al [17] describe Flipped Teaching or inverted class methodology which consists in that the students prepare certain learning contents outside the classroom, usually as homework. Thus it is possible to perform other much more practical academic tasks in the classroom.…”

“…This methodology has a pedagogical effectiveness superior to the traditional system. Multimedia resources and ICT tools provide the necessary mechanisms to implement a good educational innovation [17].…”
