FeedForward With Screencasts
Abstract
Feedforward is an educational strategy in which a professor gives orientations to students, prior to a certain task or assessment, in order to show them how to perform well in that upcoming task. This chapter explores the contribution of screencasts as one possible solution to providing feedforward. A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, including audio voiceover. If well planned and recorded, screencasts can expose students to the common errors in a certain field, as well as to the best practices that avoid or correct those mistakes. This chapter tests the following hypothesis: students who were exposed to feedforward with screencasts (experimental group) had better grades than those who did not see these common mistakes screencasts (control group). The students were Portuguese undergraduates of physiotherapy, taking a course of Inferential Statistics. The results show that the 48 students in the experimental group achieved an average of 11.64 (in a scale of 0 to 20), significantly higher than the average of 9.96 of the 41 students in the control group.
