Feedback is generally considered an indispensable element in helping students become competent at complex tasks. At the same time, teachers on many levels of education typically feel frustrated by the modest impact their feedback seems to have on improving student learning. In this lecture, it is argued that the status of feedback in the learning process needs to be reduced – by one or two notches.
Clearly, students must be progressively equipped to take control of their own learning and performance. An alternative way forward begins with a close examination of the conditions under which students can become better at monitoring the emerging quality of their work during the production process.
Professor D Royce Sadler is a Professor at the Griffith Institute for Higher Education, Griffith University, Brisbane.
