This blog was posted in 2017, but still raises some interesting questions for how we engage with students around feedback… Have YOU thought about how you will prepare YOUR students for feedback in 2018-2019? 

Receiving feedback is an emotive process for students. Guiding them to consider their emotional readiness to assimilate comments may improve the feedback/ feedforward process. To add to research on delivering effective feedback, The Developing Engagement with Feedback Toolkit considered how students’ RECEIVE feedback.

The research confirmed a common lament that students do not engage with assignment feedback. The question “Are you ready to deal with feedback?” commences a flowchart prompting students to wait a few days before reading the feedback.

This is part of their How to Use feedback guide, a very accessible readable guide including a glossary for students clarifying feedback terminology.
