TLDR
The authors found that utility is not only a key feature for students' use of feedback but also some factors, such as lack of strategies for productively using feedback or lack of understanding of academic discourse, may hinder students' possibilities to use the information formatively.
Abstract
Although feedback has a great potential for learning, students do not always make use of this potential. This article therefore reviews research literature on students’ use of feedback in higher education. This is done in order to find answers as to why some students do not use the feedback they receive and which factors are important in influencing students’ use of teacher feedback. Findings show that utility is not only a key feature for students’ use of feedback but also that some factors, such as lack of strategies for productively using feedback or lack of understanding of academic discourse, may hinder students’ possibilities to use the information formatively.

Staff student partnership in assessment: enhancing assessment literacy through democratic practices

TL;DR: In this article, a small study in a Scottish university was undertaken that involved a range of different adaptations to assessment and feedback, in which students were invited to become partners in assessment, and they argued that a partnership approach, designed to democratise the assessment process, not only offered students greater agency in their own and their peers' learning, but also helped students to enhance their assessment literacy.
