How students perceive the feedback that they receive on their writing can either foster or inhibit other important writing beliefs, yet feedback perceptions is a relatively new construct. The goal of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument for measuring students’ perceptions of writing feedback. Evidence for validity and reliability were gathered throughout the development of the Student Perceptions of Writing Feedback Scale (PWFS), a self-report questionnaire that asks students how they perceive the feedback they received from their instructors about their writing. The PWFS is based explicitly on the research and theory on students’ feedback perceptions, how helpful and valuable students find feedback, and students’ affective responses to feedback. The psychometric properties of the PWFS are satisfactory, based on analyses of data across two studies with 275 students in high school and college.
