The Power of Effective Feedback in Nursing Education: A Personal Reflection on OSCA Assessment
My experience with OSCA assessments, coupled with my academic journey in HETL, has led me to appreciate the importance of feedback in nurturing student growth. Whether through the adoption of feed-forward strategies or the move towards pass/fail grading, the goal is clear: to create an environment where students are motivated to reflect, improve, and succeed, not just in their grades, but in their development as capable, compassionate healthcare professionals. Effective feedback is not just about telling students what they did wrong; it’s about empowering them to recognise their potential and make meaningful progress.
