Nicol, David J.; Macfarlane-Dick, Debra – Studies in Higher Education, 2006
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…
