OBJECTIVES:
Feedback is an interactive process, where information is provided to someone for improving performance. In academic environment, feedback facilitates learning through regulating weaknesses of students. Current study is to report the practice of written feedback in nursing institutions in Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY:
This study was informed by relativist ontology, interpretivist epistemology and case study methodology. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, followed by thematic analysis.
RESULTS:
Our study found that, there is lack of written feedback system in nursing institutions in Peshawar. In case feedback is provided, it is ineffective and not based on actual performance of students in assignments; which is perceived by students as discriminatory and based on favoritism. Students reported that feedback is inadequate, inappropriate and delayed. It leads to general dissatisfaction among nursing students.
CONCLUSION:
Current practice of written feedback to degree level nursing students in Peshawar is deficient, counterproductive and does not improve students’ learning outcomes.
