Abstract

This study explores the important role of student feedback in value-added evaluation in architecture majors. It aims to reveal how to improve teaching quality through an effective feedback mechanism and provide a scientific basis for curriculum improvement. Value-added evaluation focuses on the growth and progress of students in the learning process, and student feedback, as a source of information that directly reflects the learning experience, can comprehensively support the assessment of teaching effectiveness. This study analyzes the existing student feedback mechanisms, explores their application methods and actual effects in value-added evaluation, and points out the deficiencies of the existing mechanisms and possible paths for optimization. The study found that feedback promotes continuous improvement of course design and teaching methods by constructing a closed-loop mechanism, and that this feedback mechanism shows significant advantages, especially in the field of architecture, which requires a high degree of practicality and creativity. The study concludes with recommendations for optimising the student feedback mechanism and looks ahead to the direction of future research, with a view to providing a feasible reference for improving the quality of education in the field of architecture.
