 Formative feedback using quick polls: benefits, challenges and engagementAngelito Calma, Lusheng Shao and William Ho International Journal of Innovation and Learning, 2023, vol. 33, issue 1, 98-119 Abstract: This study investigates students' perceptions in a formative feedback initiative introduced in a quantitative management subject. It uses data from 157 undergraduate and graduate students over two semesters collected via a survey and focus group discussion. It provides a novel contribution to the under-researched area of formative feedback in business education. Results were generally positive, with over 75% of the students agreeing that formative feedback is useful. They reported positive results across the survey questions relating to ease of and keenness to the feedback activity, their enjoyment in participating, improvement in their understanding, the usefulness of the feedback, and whether they would recommend such activity in other subjects. Results from the focus groups also reiterate these positive perceptions, where students highly regarded the immediacy and usability of the feedback in their learning and the engaging and non-threatening nature of the activity. Implications include practical uses and applicability to other disciplines. Keywords: feedback; formative feedback; business education; business decision analysis; polling.
