Formative assessment and self‐regulated learning: a model and seven principles of good feedback practice

Abstract
The research on formative assessment and feedback is reinterpreted to show how these processes can help students take control of their own learning, i.e. become self-regulated learners. This reformulation is used to identify seven principles of good feedback practice that support self-regulation. A key argument is that students are already assessing their own work and generating their own feedback, and that higher education should build on this ability. The research underpinning each feedback principle is presented, and some examples of easy-to-implement feedback strategies are briefly described. This shift in focus, whereby students are seen as having a proactive rather than a reactive role in generating and using feedback, has profound implications for the way in which teachers organise assessments and support learning.

Rethinking models of feedback for learning: the challenge of design

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop and analyse two models of feedback: the first is based on the origins of the term in the disciplines of engineering and biology, and the second draws on ideas of sustainable assessment.

Beyond feedback: developing student capability in complex appraisal

TL;DR: In this paper, a cache of relevant tacit knowledge is provided to students to understand the meaning of the feedback statements and identify, with near certainty, the particular aspects of their work that need attention.

Peer feedback: the learning element of peer assessment

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale questionnaire survey of tertiary students (1740) and academics (460) in Hong Kong, supplemented by interview data was conducted to examine the rationale for peer feedback, emphasizing its potential for enhanced student learning.

From monologue to dialogue: improving written feedback processes in mass higher education

TL;DR: This paper argued that the many diverse expressions of dissatisfaction with written feedback, both from students and teachers, are all symptoms of impoverished dialogue and suggested ways in which the nature and quality of feedback dialogue can be enhanced when student numbers are large without necessarily increasing demands on academic staff.

Feedback and Self-Regulated Learning: A Theoretical Synthesis

TL;DR: The authors synthesize a model of self-regulation based on contemporary educational and psychological literatures, and use that model as a structure for analyzing the cognitive processes involved in selfregulation, and for interpreting and integrating findings from disparate research traditions.
