Аннотация: This article touches upon the role of providing feedback in learning and teaching. Feedback is an important component of the formative assessment process. Formative assessment gives information to teachers and students about how students are doing relative to classroom learning goals. Feedback can be very powerful if done well. The power of formative feedback lies in its double-barreled approach, addressing both cognitive and motivational factors at the same time. Good feedback gives students information they need so they can understand where they are in their learning and what to do next—the cognitive factor.
Good feedback contains information that a student can use, which means that the student has to be able to hear and understand it.
