Understanding and Supporting Feedback Uptake: Bridging Research and Practice in Educational Contexts

Fri, April 10, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 3, Avalon

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Feedback is widely recognized as a critical component of learning, yet students often fail to engage with or act upon it. Drawing on research from educational psychology, assessment, and learning sciences, this symposium explores the issue of feedback uptake—when and why learners take up feedback and apply it to improve their learning. We highlight recent findings showing that simply receiving feedback does not ensure its effectiveness; rather, its impact depends on whether it is understood, accepted, and used. The symposium includes empirical studies that investigate cognitive, affective, and contextual factors influencing uptake and offers implications for designing feedback practices that better support students in engaging with feedback in meaningful ways.
