The following is excerpted from an article by Grant Wiggins:
“The research is clear: good feedback is essential to learning at high levels.”
“Feedback is useful information about the effects of an action in light of a goal.”
- Feedback is Not praise and Not advice
- Feedback focuses corrective measures and specific actions that the learner can take.
- The purpose or what is expected is clear. Clarity promotes self-regulation.
- Exemplars and models of both excellent and subpar work are provided.
- The feedback is timely
Wiggins points out that, on standardized tests and final exams: there is NO feedback.
