Feedback: The Long View—Does Feedback Improve Learning
What the Research Shows
Research shows that feedback is the most effective influence of student growth.
We have to be sure that feedback has lasting influence on students.
Strategies for Helping Students Use Feedback
Model giving and using feedback yourself.
Teach students where feedback comes from.
Teach students self- and peer-assessment skills.
Increase students' interest in feedback because they own it.
Teach students to answer their own questions and develop self-regulation skills, necessary for using any feedback.
Be clear about the learning target and the criteria for good work.
Use assignments with obvious value and interest.
Explain to students why an assignment is given.
Make directions clear.
Use clear rubrics.
Have students develop their own rubrics, or translate yours into "kid-friendly" language.
Design lessons that incorporate using the rubrics as students work.
Design lessons in which students use feedback on previous work to produce better work.
Provide opportunities for students to redo complex assignments.
Give new but similar assignments for less complex learning targets.
Give opportunities for students to make connections between the feedback they receive and the improvement in their work.
Modeling How to Give and Use Feedback
Modeliing is the best way to teach students.
You can model and have students give you feedback on how they would fix the assignment.
Teaching Self-Assessment Skills
Students begin to become interested in feedback and becoem better at self regulation to reach their goals on their own.
We we teach students to self assess they learn where feedback comes from.
Teaching Peer-Assessment Skills
Peer assessment as a formative, collaborative tool rather than for grading.
This should be used only when they are revising work to improve and not turn into comparison.
"Kid-Friendly" Rubrics
In order to recieve feedback and act on it students need to be able to understand the language used in rubrics that the feedback is given on.
Design Lessons Where Students Use Feedback
Teachers should plan assignments and projects that build on previous feedback
Feedback should primarily guide learning before grades are given, but even after tests or final assignments, students can still use feedback to revise, redo, or try similar tasks
Be Clear About the Learning Targets and Criteria for Good Work
Teachers have to set clear criteria in every lesson to make sure students can reach the target set by the assignment.
When the rubric is able to be met the students can use feedback to improve.
