What is it?
The ‘Turning Active Learning into Active Feedback Guide’ explains how you can easily turn active learning methods currently in use into active feedback methods by building on the implicit feedback opportunities in the former. To turn active learning into active feedback, students must make mindful comparisons of their own work against external information and make the outputs of those comparisons explicit.
This guide provides a simple mechanism for active feedback, ten examples of implementation of this mechanism in education, and some instructions on implementation and selection of comparators.
Purpose?
Improve students’ learning by building on their natural inner feedback capability
- Make learning more enjoyable by varying the information students use to generate feedback
For whom?
Teachers
