Central Principles of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

When: 9am-5pm

A lively and open feedback culture has a considerable effect on
student learning (cf. Hattie) and does not only comprise feedback that
lecturers provide to students regarding a specific task the students
have performed but, moreover, also includes feedback that students
direct at their lecturers concerning e.g. the course and lesson structure.
Understood in this way, feedback represents a comprehensive and
reciprocal communication process in which lecturers and students
discuss and negotiate multiple aspects of teaching and learning.
Feedback thus constitutes a valuable tool to enable agency for all
parties involved in the teaching and learning process.
In this workshop, we will examine the significance of feedback as well
as different dimensions and levels of feedback. Furthermore, we will
try out and discuss a range of feedback methods. Finally, we will identify
factors that are beneficial for building and establishing an open,
reciprocal feedback culture.
