Abstract This paper presents a survey of student perceptions of feedback in English writing in a context where formative assessment is mandatory. The study comprises 329 first year upper secondary school students from seven schools in eastern Norway, and uses a survey to examine their perceptions of and experiences with feedback in EFL writing instruction. Overall, the findings reveal that students receive varied feedback, on language as well as global errors, but primarily to finished and graded texts. There is little use of feedback between drafts, or of oral conferencing and peer-feedback. While many students do not follow up feedback at all, those who do tend to focus on language error correction and less on global errors. However, student follow up in general, and of global errors in particular, increases markedly with unfinished and ungraded texts, possibly because of available time and teacher support during the revision process. This indicates that feedback utilization can be improved by setting aside classroom time to work with texts between drafts during which students can receive teacher support, and by making this an integrated part of English writing instruction. Key words: L 2 writing instruction, feedback/formative feedback, formative assessment, multiple-sourced feedback.   Elevers oppfatninger om og erfaringer med tilbakemeldinger de får i skriveundervisningen i engelskfaget i den vidergående skole Sammendrag Denne artikkelen presenterer en kvantitativ studie av tilbakemeldinger i engelsk skriveundervisning i en kontekst hvor formativ vurdering er læreplanfestet. Den undersøker hvordan 329 norske VG1-studenter fra syv videregående skoler i øst Norge opplever og følger opp tilbakemeldingene de får som del av engelskfagets skriveundervisning. Funnene viser at studentene får variert feedback, med god balanse mellom kommentarene på språkfeil som på mer generelle feil med teksten, men at tilbakemeldingene først og fremst gis til ferdige tekster med karakter. Det er lite bruk av feedback til uferdige, ikke karaktervurderte tekster, av muntlig veiledning og av feedback fra andre studenter. Mens mange studenter ikke følger opp feedback overhodet, øker oppfølgingen, av språkfeil og i enda større grad av såkalte «globale» feil, markant de relativt sjeldne gangene de får til å arbeide med uferdige, ikke karaktervurderte tekster. Dette tyder på at utnyttelsen av feedback kan bedres ved at elevene får arbeide med uferdige tekster og med lærerstøtte mens de reviderer, og dette gjøres til en integrert del av engelskundervisningen. Nøkkelord: L2 skriving, skriveundervisning tilbakemeldinger, formativ vurdering, vurdering for læring, ulike tilbakemeldingsmodaliteter

Abstract Background Research has established a strong relationship between education and later life outcomes, where the connection between different school problems and delinquency have been widely acknowledged. These studies have often sampled male juvenile offenders exhibiting extensive and/or persistent delinquency. Less is known about the educational attainment of female juvenile offenders, especially those who display limited delinquency. In a previous study (Azad and Ginner Hau in Child Youth Serv Rev 95:384–396, 2018), the characteristics of this particular group of offenders were explored where the results showed limited self-reported delinquency but elevated school problems. Objective The present aim was to conduct a follow-up study of the same sample of female adolescents, in order to study their educational attainment during adolescence and the rate of recidivism within 24 months after being sentenced through registry data. Method The sample consisted of adolescent females (N = 144) who were convicted of a crime and sentenced to youth service between 2007 and 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. Results The results showed that the majority of the females did not reoffend within 2 years after being sentenced. They did, however, display high educational deficits. Their grade point average at the end of both compulsory education and upper secondary school was much lower than that of young females in general, and the majority had either dropped out, never begun or received zero in all subjects at the end of upper secondary school. Conclusions The low school results indicate a need to support young delinquent females’ educational attainment in order to improve their overall life chances.

AbstractThis study explores the influence of geographical location on young pupils’ educational orientations and their transition from lower to upper secondary school; it pays particular attention to the voices of male youths from a rural area. More specifically, it investigates the interplay between gender and geographical contexts and the significance of these factors in understanding the processes associated with educational orientations. Margaret Archer’s framework is used to analyse how pupils’ agency is constrained and/or enabled by objective structures. The data material consists of qualitative interviews with 18 pupils transitioning from lower to upper secondary school in Norway. Each of the pupils was interviewed twice: first when they were in their last year of lower secondary education, and then during their first year of upper secondary education. The findings show that pupils consider geographical locations when making decisions about further education and work. In addition, they believe that education beyond compulsory schooling benefits their life in the rural areas. However, unlike their urban counterparts, pupils from rural areas appear to have a more constraining transition to upper secondary education. Through the analyses in this article, it becomes clear that both geographical location and gender are key factors for understanding processes connected to education.
