Rationale
Rationale
Feedback is a powerful source of improving student learning and achievement. Based on John Hattie’s research, the effect size of feedback in classrooms is .73 (with .40 being an average effect size). The highest effect sizes involved students receiving informative feedback about a task and how to do it more effectively. Lower effect sizes were related to praise, rewards, and punishment.
