Feelings About Feedback: Who Cares About What?

Black, E. and Makara Fuller, K. (2021) Feelings About Feedback: Who Cares About What? Improving University Teaching 46th Annual Conference, 21-23 Jul 2021.

Abstract

What do learners and teachers care about most when it comes to feedback? If feedback is a dialogue (Nicol, 2010), are we talking at cross-purposes? This paper draws on findings from a research project exploring practical solutions to enduring concerns around the provision of feedback in a School of Education within a large research-intensive university. Data from focus groups with students and interviews with teachers supports insights into the understandings and priorities of these different groups of feedback ‘senders’ and ‘receivers’ (Winstone and Nash, 2017) to answer the question: what features of consistent feedback support effective assessment for learning?
