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.

Timing matters when correcting fake news.
TL;DR: The authors found that providing fact-checks after headlines (debunking) improved subsequent truth discernment more than providing the same information during labeling or before prebunking exposure, while participants in a control condition received no information about veracity.

TL;DR: Both academic stress and transitional stress had a robust impact on veterinary medical students' well-being during their first three semesters of study, and academic stress negatively impacted students in the areas of depression and anxiety symptoms, life satisfaction, general health, perception of academic performance, and grade point average.

Students’ perceptions of written feedback in teacher education: ideally feedback is a continuing two-way communication that encourages progress
TL;DR: The authors investigated students' perceptions of written feedback with particular emphasis on their emotional responses within a teacher education program in a regional Australian university and concluded that effective written feedback should be aligned with pedagogies which specifically include the development of rich dialogue within the teaching and learning context.

The Effects of the Timing of Corrective Feedback on the Acquisition of a New Linguistic Structure.
TL;DR: This article investigated the effect of immediate and delayed corrective feedback in learning the English past passive construction, a linguistic structure of which the learners had little prior knowledge and found that the feedback only aided the development of declarative/explicit knowledge and that the advantage found for immediate feedback was due to the learners using the feedback progressively in the production of new past passive sentences, whereas this did not occur in the delayed feedback condition.
A sampled literature review of design-based learning approaches: a search for key characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key characteristics of design-based learning in higher engineering education and identify four relevant dimensions for organizing these characteristics: the project characteristics, the role of the teacher, the assessment methods, and the social context.
