TLDR
This paper provided a conceptual analysis of feedback and reviewed the evidence related to its impact on learning and achievement, and suggested ways in which feedback can be used to enhance its effectiveness in classrooms.Abstract:
Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement, but this impact can be either positive or negative. Its power is frequently mentioned in articles about learning and teaching, but surprisingly few recent studies have systematically investigated its meaning. This article provides a conceptual analysis of feedback and reviews the evidence related to its impact on learning and achievement. This evidence shows that although feedback is among the major influences, the type of feedback and the way it is given can be differentially effective. A model of feedback is then proposed that identifies the particular properties and circumstances that make it effective, and some typically thorny issues are discussed, including the timing of feedback and the effects of positive and negative feedback. Finally, this analysis is used to suggest ways in which feedback can be used to enhance its effectiveness in classrooms.read more

Differentiated instruction in a data-based decision-making context
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between differentiated instruction, as an element of data-based decision-making, and student achievement and found that students in low-ability groups profited less from differentiated instruction than students in average or high ability groups.

Consuming Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Tests: The Role of Genetic Literacy and Knowledge Calibration
TL;DR: The authors find that consumers’ genetic knowledge was generally low and that people tended to underestimate their knowledge level, and they offer recommendations for formulating ethically sound public policies in this area.

Valuation of Small and Multiple Health Risks: A Critical Analysis of SP Data Applied to Food and Water Safety
TL;DR: In this paper, individual risk preferences in the context of an infectious disease using choice experiments were elicited using a novel approach, and the results suggest that the value of a mortality risk reduction (VSL) is highly sensitive to the survey design.

Evaluating elementary-aged students’ abilities to generalize and maintain fluency gains of a performance feedback writing intervention.
Bridget O. Hier,Tanya L. Eckert +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that performance feedback may produce short-term desired effects on students' writing fluency growth, but that explicit programming of generality may be required to produce long-term achievement gains.

Investigating the dynamics of formative assessment: relationships between teacher knowledge, assessment practice and learning
TL;DR: The authors conducted an exploratory study of elementary school science and found that despite weaknesses in teachers' content-pedagogical and assessment knowledge, teachers' formative assessment practices are positively related to student learning.

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory.
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs, focusing on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motivated work behavior to develop; (b) the characteristics of jobs that can create these psychological states; and (c) the attributes of individuals that determine how positively a person will respond to a complex and challenging job.
