Description¶

The fifth step centers the person delivering or enacting feedback — the feedback agent — in models of the feedback process. The article states that "placing the feedback agent at the core of the feedback process, with particular attention to individual differences, is of utmost importance". This shifts attention from feedback as a message toward the agent's characteristics and variability as determinants of feedback effects.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Research designs must foreground the feedback agent rather than treating feedback as agent-independent

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• feedback researchers and educational psychologists

Target Learning Goals¶

• understanding how feedback agent individual differences shape feedback processes

Related Strategies¶

• Develop new feedback models that operationalize the intricacies of the feedback phenomenon
• Conceptualize feedback as a dynamic process and collect data that directly investigates that process
• Leverage self-regulated learning measurement methods in feedback research
• Employ multimodal methods to capture the multifaceted feedback process
