Effective Student Feedback in Higher Education
Abstract
There are many challenges that researchers investigate in the teaching-learning relationship. One of these is student feedback. Feedback in one of the most misunderstood concepts in HE and it is also one of the ignored aspects of teaching (Winstone and Boud, 2022). Due to increasing concerns around student feedback, there has been a noticeable rise in the number of studies on student feedback since the early 2000s (Carless, 2021). Studies in general report the prevalent problems and offer practical solutions. The aim of the talk is to highlight the major concerns and challenges around student feedback and share solutions suggested by top researchers in the field on how to overcome these challenges and give more effective feedback to students.
