FEEDBACK

Context

You are teaching in class with a focus not only on the subject area, but also on SUPPORTING TRANSVERSAL SKILLS. You are using the EPORTFOLIO approach and students document their learning process continuously, similar to an online learning journal. You want to help students to improve their learning strategy and/or their artifacts.

Problem

Like stated by Vygotskii, learning is happening through social interactions.[1] SELF-ASSESSMENT and reflection are very useful, but not enough if you want to support the student's learning process.

Solution

Give constructive FEEDBACK to the student's learning documentation and encourage meaningful PEER-FEEDBACK among stundents. The feedback should be differentiated and could be given to a single artifact or to the whole EPORTFOLIO.

Details

A prerequisite for giving and receiving good FEEDBACK is a common quality standard, which should be defined together at the start of the learning cycle. Based on the quality criteria a more objective and distinctive feedback can be given.
