alleryWhat does research say about writing comments next to a grade on pupils' work?
AIt works best of all
BIt is worse than none
CIt is as weak as a grade
DIt helps only toppers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It is as weak as a grade
1. Pupils tend to look at the grade and ignore the comments.
2. So comments alongside grades are just as ineffective as giving only a numerical or letter grade.
3. The claim that they work best, or are harmful, is not what the evidence shows.
