ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of feedback types on student academic achievement. Three feedback types were used in this study: No Feedback (NF), Corrective Feedback (CF) and Elaborative Feedback (EF). At the beginning of the study, subjects separated to three equal groups. First group‟s education type is named as No Feedback, second group‟s education type is named as Corrective Feedback, and third group‟s education type is named as Elaborative Feedback. Students completed a one hour program about traffic signs and each student took an achievement test at the end of the program. A retest used in order to measure students‟ retention levels four weeks after the study. Results indicated that the feedback types have a significant effect on academic achievement. And the feedback types also significantly affected students‟ retention levels.
