David Boud

Zijn naam kwam al voorbij in verschillende blogs die op de website van het platform zijn verschenen. Zo was hij betrokken bij het project “Feedback for learning: Closing the assessment loop“, waar verschillende regels voor niet effectieve feedback uit voortkwamen. Ook introduceerde hij afgelopen jaar samen met collega David Carless een model over feedbackgeletterdheid. Dit model beschrijft wat er nodig is om te leren van de feedback die je krijgt. Tijdens het festival neemt hij ons mee in de zoektocht naar feedback met impact. 

 

Feedback must have an impact on learning

Too often, feedback has focused on what teachers do, but ultimately it can only be judged in terms of the influence it has on student learning.  This session will show how conceptions of feedback have shifted rapidly in the past few years to become much more learning-centred. It will emphasise the importance of students building the capacity to judge their own work and that of others, and discuss the development of student feedback literacy, that is, the capability to benefit and ultilise feedback processes for their own ends.
