"We need a cultural shift in how we provide comments on student work, say Naomi Winstone and Robert Nash"
Summary from Academica Top Ten - Friday, October 7, 2016:
"Students will not appreciate feedback until they learn how to use it, says THE contributor
“What students do with expert advice is at least as important as the advice itself,” write Naomi Winstone and Robert Nash for Times Higher Education. The authors allude to UK data showing that students are less satisfied with the feedback they receive from instructors than they are with any other aspect of PSE. Yet the authors argue that no amount of feedback would ever be enough to solve this issue, because the only way to address it is to train students on how to properly incorporate and learn from feedback, which requires resilience and flexibility. “To really achieve this goal properly, we need a cultural shift in higher education,” the authors conclude. “Moving away from the notion of feedback simply as something we give away to students and towards one that sees it as a two-way street, with shared responsibilities and expectations.”"
