Abstract
Designing assessment is a creative work that relies on academics’ knowledge, experiences and availability of time. Similarly, constructing assessment feedback is an art that is acquired with knowledge, experience and ability to be reflective on part of the academic. This chapter presents academic staffs’ reflection on experiences and perception on receiving and providing feedback in a cross-cultural higher education context. Faculty involved in teaching social work education to undergraduates in an Asian and Western country is uniquely positioned to reflect upon assessment feedback and draw upon experiences and scholarship across two distinct cultures with a view to advance best practice. The feedback practices of staffs’ are presented that are shaped by both negative and positive experiences of students, institutional limitations, demands on teaching and learning and relationship with students and colleagues. Furthermore, constraints and challenges present in the higher education system across two cultures shaping assessment feedback practices are addressed with tools and mechanisms needed to facilitate the change process. Lastly, value of involvement of key stakeholders including students, teachers, academic leaders, policy administrators, family and parents in shaping academics’ assessment feedback strategies in higher educational context is emphasized.
