Previous studies on formative feedback remain limited and fail to provide a comprehensive overview of research trends and directions. This study aims to systematically review the implementation of formative feedback in physics education using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on PRISMA guidelines. A total of 25 articles indexed in SINTA and Scopus from 2018 to 2025 were analyzed. The findings indicate that most studies employed quantitative and Research and Development (R&D) methods, focusing mainly on high school students. Formative feedback was commonly developed through digital media such as e-books, e-modules, web platforms, and mobile applications, integrated into strategies like software simulations, feedback loops, IDEAL, and POE. This study highlights the crucial role of formative feedback in improving physics learning. Future studies are recommended to expand research through qualitative or mixed-method approaches and conduct comparative and longitudinal studies to assess its long-term effectiveness across various physics topics.
