ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines the key points about the nature and development of feedback thinking by educators and academics, laying the foundation for the related issues. It talks about the life of a teacher and a student in the day to day structure of lessons, as outlined in the introduction: culture, learning strategies, in lesson feedback and post-lesson feedback. The essential message is that the most valuable feedback focuses on helping the student improve. During the multiple opportunities for learning and engagement, teachers need to provide feedback to refine the student's understanding of the content. John Hattie and H. Timperley defined feedback as relating to actions or information provided by an agent that provides information regarding aspects of one's performance or understanding. Effective feedback occurs when it is received and acted upon.
