THE IMPACT OF FEEDBACK ON STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Feedback aims at the regulatory character of the educational process, the regulatory action being possible due to the reverse connection or feedback that is specific to any system. Feedback is an integrant part of the instructional-educational process. It offers learners a comparison between their performance and the educational objectives, with the intention of helping them achieve their intended goals. Along with the development of digital applications, providing feedback in the field of training can be done faster and easier, which is why we turned to providing feedback to students through the Google Classroom platform. The purpose of our research is to analyze the extent to which students capitalize on the feedback provided by the teacher in order to increase their academic performance. The study uses a mixed methods approach that underlies the analysis with both quantitative and qualitative schemes. Both student and teacher perspectives on their experiences of using and capitalizing on feedback are also used. A major advantage of using feedback in school education is that its regular use leads to effective learning, an aspect that can be noted not only at the content level, but also at the level of making learning strategies more efficient.
