Andrea Rivett
Supportive error correction through the application of a success code

Abstract
Providing solutions to student problems is a key aspect of learning and teaching. Teachers are expected to provide guidance, and students expect to receive it. These expectations can be time-consuming for the teacher and may lead to feedback for feedback’s sake. This project investigates teacher reflections of their comments to students and whether they align to the learning outcomes, correction codes or individual student needs. The project explores how a success code can be implemented as a positive learning tool.
