Questions 1 and 2: ‘Are there any gaps between your practice of offering feedback tos students and what Hattie recommends?’… and ‘In what ways can you improve the effectiveness of the feedback…”
A key lesson I took from Hattie’s piece relates to the importance of contextualizing feedback. By relating feedback to a student’s current and past relationship to course learning goals/objectives, and by outlining clear steps required by the student in order to close the gap between his/her/their current state of knowledge, understanding and/or action and that required within the course, a pathway is articulated by which a student’s success can be achieved. By focusing on this principle, I believe my feedback to students will gain contextual relevance.
