Table 1 Outline of new Model of feedback introduced

From: The evaluation of an evidence-based model of feedback implemented on an undergraduate dental clinical learning environment

1. Learning outcomes are highlighted at beginning of the clinical session verbally –student must know what they are setting out to achieve at the start of the clinical session.

2. Example of good work is shared with the student (e.g., refer to a textbook or online material) prior to the session so that student knows what s/he is striving to achieve or to model good practice.

3. Feedback to the student incorporates a reflective component, for example, “How do you feel that went? What would you do differently next time?”

4. Clinical teacher determines if any issues arose for the student over the session based on expected performance/standards that could be improved for the next clinical session.

5. Clinical teacher enters a dialogue with the student, highlighting what went well, any issues which occurred over the clinical session and how they could be addressed. The student is advised to keep a written record to guide their learning before the next session.

6. Students are asked how they are progressing with their learning goals, any areas of concern or need for clarification.
