Workshop: Optimal Feedback for Students: How to Implement Feedback Mechanisms in Education that Respond to Students’ Needs?

Abstract

Participants in this workshop will be acquainted with five feedback mechanisms that are proven to enhance students’ learning experiences and their performance: peer feedback, 360-degree feedback, feedback for self-regulated learners, feedback for multidisciplinary groups and co-creation of assessment rubrics. Interviews with teachers were held to get more insight in their ideas about these mechanisms. Student opinions were collected by means of a survey. The results showed that teachers and students consider feedback as important, and that they are interested in different feedback mechanisms. However, the feedback mechanisms are not often used. In the workshop, we will discuss possibilities for the implementation of the mechanisms in education.
