ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book begins with an overview of the state of research about feedback. It discusses the reasons for student feedback, the advantages, and – more specifically – what it has to do with good teaching. The book focuses on student feedback from a practical teaching point of view: from the task of finding the right questions through effective collection of data to professional discussion and implementation of changes. It outlines psychological processes that can occur after one has received feedback and then illustrates how change processes can take place by means of practical examples. The book examines the progressive combination of digitization and feedback. It also examines how feedback can become more than a tool for individual teachers, but it can also change an entire school.
