Developing Feedback Literacy for First Year Nursing Students in North Queensland

James Cook University
Role

Supervisor

Description

This lower-risk research project will explore first-year nursing students’ knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding assessment feedback at a regional university in North Queensland. The study is situated within the Master of Health Professional Education and uses a positivist paradigm with a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey framework. Data will be collected through an anonymous online survey completed by first-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled at James Cook University. The survey will examine students’ previous experiences of receiving and using assessment feedback, their current understanding and interpretation of feedback, and how they apply feedback to support learning. Findings will be used to identify strengths and needs in students’ feedback literacy and to inform teaching strategies that support first-year nursing students in North Queensland and similar tertiary settings.
