Feedback to the Future: Impacts of a Venerable Construct on 21st-Century Motivation and Learning

Sun, April 10, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 150 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Research on the effects of feedback dates back to a century when early behaviorists established the foundations of psychology, with feedback interpreted as rewards, reinforcements, and punishment. In this symposium, we integrate the history of feedback research with recent advances in understanding the complex interplay of feedback, motivation, and learning for students. An international group of scholars will present various theoretical and methodological perspectives on how different forms of feedback such as grades, praise, criticism, and constructive feedback influence students in a variety of domains, settings, and grade levels. Combining both experimental and applied research designs, we discuss new contributions to century-old questions regarding feedback and learning, with the goal of elucidating the processes associated with providing and receiving feedback.
