Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The reviewed studies reference empirical research more than established feedback theories, and engagement with reading theory is more often explicit. → Grønli 2024
q2 i? The studies' worldviews were coded as 8 behaviorist, 13 cognitive, and 3 sociocultural, and no study advanced theory. → Grønli 2024 (2)
Evidence¶
Grønli 2024¶
Grønli, K. M., Walgermo, B. R., McTigue, E. M., & Uppstad, P. H. (2024). Teachers' Feedback on Oral Reading: A Critical Review of its Effects and the use of Theory in Research. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09957-z
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review's narrative synthesis of theoretical foundations across the 24 studies. Only five studies explicitly incorporated feedback theories, and no more than two used models listed by Lipnevich and Panadero (2021); the review states "studies reference empirical research more than established theories" while reading-theory engagement was more explicit.
"Regarding feedback theory, we found that studies reference empirical research more than established theories."
Grønli 2024 (2)¶

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review's coding of the 24 studies' knowledge paradigms, since "None of the 24 studies explicitly discusses its knowledge paradigm". Theory-engagement coding (adapted from Nieminen et al., 2023, Ashwin, 2012, and Hew et al., 2019) scored all studies 0–12, with Table 4 showing no theory advancement in any study.
"Our findings indicate that 8 studies adopt a behaviorist perspective, 13 studies a cognitive one, and 3 studies a sociocultural one."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Feedback that answers three questions (Where am I going? How am I doing? Where to next?) improves learning — a broader claim this one bears on
- Feedback targeting reading self-efficacy had a positive effect on motivation, while error-focused feedback and rewards had mixed effects on long-term interest and engagement — related
