Abstract
Abstract How learners understand, respond to, and value educational feedback has been researched with self-report inventories, in which respondents provide insights into how they understand and claim to use feedback. The validity of learner self-reports depends on the credibility of the measures for both reliability and validity. A systematic search of Scopus for studies post-1999 found 42 studies using multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC) psychometric methods to measure participants’ perceptions of feedback, giving evidence of internal structure and finding relationships with one or more of self-regulation, self-efficacy, or achievement emotions. A detailed analysis was conducted for ten inventories that had high-quality psychometric properties. Agreeing that feedback was useful and/or was used was positively associated with greater academic outcomes. However, only one inventory provided evidence related to independently measured behaviors. Important directions for further research are identified, including the use of strong psychometric methods, independent validation measures, replication samples, and behavioral measures.
期刊介绍:
The Educational Psychologist is a scholarly journal dedicated to exploring the psychology of learning and instruction. Articles in this journal encompass a diverse range of perspectives, from examining psychological mechanisms to exploring social and societal phenomena related to learning and instruction. The journal publishes theoretical and conceptual articles, as well as reviews and meta-analyses, that significantly contribute to theory or advance the methods used to explore educational psychology. Emphasizing innovation and advancing understanding, the journal does not publish articles solely reporting the methods and results of empirical studies; instead, all submissions, including reviews and meta-analyses, must offer clear implications for advancing theory. In addition to regular articles, the journal features special issues that delve into important themes in educational psychology, along with focal articles accompanied by peer commentary.
