FARIAS, Cynthia Moura Louzada et al. Feedback in the learning process: perceptions among dental students at a Brazilian University. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.3, pp. 35-42. ISSN 1679-5954.

This study aimed at analyzing opinions among students in the professionalizing cycle of the Dentistry Program at Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Brazil, and discussing questions regarding feedback in the teachinglearning process. It is a qualitative exploratory study that adopted semi-structured questionnaires and interviews with 103 7th and 10th term dental students. The data show that students tend to value feedback, which they see as constructive criticism to correct their activities, even though they admit that feedback efficacy and use depend on understanding the tasks, as well as on the relationship students have with professors. We concluded that feedback is an essential part of university education. Professors need to be involved in continued education processes and be committed to understanding and using new tools that contribute to students' pursuit of knowledge and professional training.
