Question
Which of the following describes a form of feedback with the GREATEST positive impact?
- A. Suggestions that focus on procedures versus the concepts
- B. Measurable results from summative assessments
- C. Specific comments on errors with suggestions on how to improve Correct
- D. Comparing learner performance with other learners
Explanation
Feedback helps most when it is specific and actionable: it names the exact error and tells the learner how to improve, so they can correct their performance. Focusing on procedures instead of concepts, reporting only summative scores, or comparing a learner with others gives little guidance on what to change, and comparisons can discourage learners.
