Session Submission Summary

Examining Feedback Practices in Multiple Settings With Multiple Perspectives

Sat, April 5, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, Franklin 7

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Feedback practice is reported as one of the weakest areas in classroom assessment despite its positive impact on student learning. Little is known about what makes feedback practices effective and what and how feedback is taken up by students. To fill in the research gaps, papers in this symposium focus on: (1) studying feedback practices by situating them in instructional contexts instead of specific feedback pieces only; and (2) examining how students interact with feedback in order to explore factors that may impact its effectiveness. Applying multiple theoretical perspectives, we will conceptualize and investigate feedback practices of verbal or written at different grade levels and disciplines (science, mathematics, engineering, and architecture), in various learning settings (e.g., classrooms, studios)
