Abstract

As the articles in this special issue on “Psychological Perspectives on the Effects and Effectiveness of Assessment Feedback” have shown, feedback is a key factor in education. Although there exists a substantial body of research on the topic, it is imperative to continue advancing the field. My aim is to outline five steps to solidify the potential paradigm shift that the feedback field may already be experiencing, while incorporating the insights gleaned from the articles within this special issue. Firstly, there is a need to develop new models that thoroughly explore and operationalize the intricacies of the feedback phenomenon. Secondly, it is essential to conceptualize feedback as a dynamic process and collect data that directly investigates this process. Thirdly, it would be advantageous to leverage insights from the self-regulated learning field, which has made significant strides in advancing measurement methods applicable to feedback research. Fourthly, employing multimodal methods can enrich our comprehension of the multifaceted nature of the feedback process. Lastly, placing the feedback agent at the core of the feedback process, with particular attention to individual differences, is of utmost importance.

摘要

正如本期“评估反馈的影响和有效性的心理学视角”中的文章所表明的那样，反馈是教育的关键因素。尽管该主题已有大量研究，但继续推进该领域势在必行。我的目标是概述五个步骤，以巩固反馈领域可能已经经历的潜在范式转变，同时纳入从本期特刊文章中收集的见解。首先，需要开发新模型来彻底探索和操作反馈现象的复杂性。其次，必须将反馈概念化为动态过程并收集直接调查该过程的数据。第三，利用自我调节学习领域的见解将是有利的，该领域在推进适用于反馈研究的测量方法方面取得了重大进展。第四，采用多模态方法可以丰富我们对反馈过程的多方面性质的理解。最后，将反馈代理置于反馈过程的核心，特别关注个体差异是至关重要的。
