一句话：提出 Focus 机制，将评估任务与课程单元间的反馈关联起来，以个性化软件工程教育中的学习反馈。
传统高等教育评估中的反馈常被用于解释分数，评估结束后即被忽视，难以持续支持学习。本文提出在软件工程教育中引入一种 focus 机制，将不同评估任务与课程单元之间的反馈关联起来，从而为学生提供更个性化和连贯的学习反馈。作者描述了该机制的模型及其在软件工程课程单元中的应用方式，并通过多个教师焦点小组对该模型、应用场景和局限性进行讨论。教师们在讨论中共同参与改进模型，分享评估经验与观点。结果表明，教师认为这些改变有助于教学，并指出该机制可帮助学生更整体地看待学习；主要挑战在于教师工作量和学生理解复杂度，实施时需加以解决。
Learning can be greatly enhanced by effective feedback. Traditional assessment approaches in higher education often result in feedback being used to justify marks awarded, which is often disregarded once the assessment is complete. In this paper, we explore the idea of incorporating a focus mechanism to connect feedback between assessment tasks and units, discuss how this can be applied to enhance software engineering education, and present results from several staff focus groups exploring the idea. The focus groups discussed the model, its application within software engineering units, and its limitations, with staff helping co-create the enhancements to the model through discussing experiences/sharing opinions/providing insights on assessment within their units. Results indicate that staff believe that the changes will benefit their teaching and highlighted several opportunities for this initiative to encourage students to have a more holistic view of their studies. The main challenges identified were staff workload and complexity for students which must be addressed in implementing this idea.
