Refers to the information provided to students about their performance or understanding in relation to specific learning goals. Effective feedback is timely, specific, and constructive, helping students recognize what they did well, where they need improvement, and how they can grow.
Rather than simply giving a grade or score, meaningful feedback guides students in reflecting on their learning and taking actionable steps to improve. It can come from teachers, peers, or even self-assessment, and it plays a crucial role in supporting academic progress, building confidence, and promoting a growth mindset.
Examples:
Be as specific as possible
try to provide immediate feedback
address the goal
be mindful
allow time for the person receiving feedback to express their thoughts
