This book brings new visibility to what is a complex and often hidden process – student engagement with feedback. The authors present a seamless integration of original research with implications for practice that stands to bring new clarity of focus to the research agenda in this important area.Professor Naomi E. Winstone, Surrey Institute of Education, University of Surrey, UKSo much is given and so little received, understood, or actioned. This is the book that helps turn the feedback tide, with exemplary researchers discussing not only the feedback given, but the feedback received. For those researchers, practitioners and students of feedback, there are rich pickings between these covers.Laureate Professor Emeritus John Hattie, University of Melbourne, AustraliaIn recent years, educators have made great strides in offering students personalized feedback that clarifies the learning goals, where students are on the pathway to those goals, and what additional steps must be taken to reach those goals What we have lacked are clear ideas on how to encourage students’ meaningful engagement with that feedback and how to help students develop strategies for gaining feedback on their own. This book addresses that critical gap, offering practical, evidence-based guidance to educators at all levels. It is the crucial next step! Professor Emeritus Tom Guskey, University of Kentucky, USA
