Feedback is a cornerstone of teaching and learning, but what type of feedback is beneficial for students? For secondary and higher education, new research offers up some answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analyzing more than 3,000 essays from secondary and higher education globally, the latest research<\/a> from John Hattie, author of Visible Learning<\/em>, shows that \u201cWhere to next?\u201d feedback can lead to bigger gains in student learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere to next?\u201d feedback gives students direction on how to take the next steps to improve their learning and performance. This kind of feedback typically has three components<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s an example of \u201cWhere to next?\u201d feedback about an unclear sentence from a student\u2019s writing assignment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The timing of feedback is also critical. Feedback should be given shortly after students have handed in their work to give them the opportunity to apply the feedback and adjust their work on an ongoing basis. When feedback is provided at the right time, students can better contextualize, understand, and implement what they\u2019ve learned in their assignments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Providing quality feedback to every student at the right moment can be challenging, especially with the ever-growing demands and disruptions educators face during the school year. Integrated with the built-in capabilities of Microsoft 365<\/a>, Turnitin has launched Draft Coach<\/a> in Microsoft Word for the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drawing from John Hattie\u2019s \u201cWhere to next?\u201d research, Draft Coach gives secondary and higher education students guidance about how to address accidental plagiarism, citation, and grammar issues. The example feedback mentioned earlier is an actual piece of grammar feedback from Draft Coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow \u201cWhere to next?\u201d feedback works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
