Abstract
Why an AI Chatbot for formative feedback on reflections?
Critical reflection is essential in initial teacher education because it empowers beginning teachers to “dig deeply into their practices,” enabling growth and readiness for the complexities of the profession (McLelland, 2024).
Ross et al., (2024) suggest that shorter tasks with formative feedback gradually build reflective writing skills. Miss Honey supports an iterative process of writing and is available when the student is.
What we have noticed: • Many students lack confidence to submit a draft • Miss Honey provides real time formative feedback • Variability in feedback across visiting lecturers
Miss Honey aims to scaffold students thinking and provide equitable access to feedback while supporting academic staff to develop consistency
