Can We Teach Our Students to Be Active Participants in the Feedback Process?
Presenters: Julia McDougal Ronconi, Lindsay DuBois, Celeste Surreira and Gina Grabowski (Nursing)
Feedback has been shown to be an essential part of the learning process, but only if students incorporate the feedback into their future work. Beyond getting students to read/hear the feedback, can we support them to be active participants in this critical phase of the learning process? In this SoTL Working Group Meeting, you’ll hear from four teacher-scholars in Nursing whose ongoing research has tackled these questions around supporting “feedback literacy” among UMass undergraduate students. Breakfast snacks, coffee, and tea will be served.
