Teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards feedback: Contradictions and development trends by A. A. Azbel, L. S. Ilyushin, E. I. Kazakova, P. A. Morozova

“…Other external circumstances hindering the development of qualitative feedback practices include, in the opinion of teachers, the dominance of the point system of assessment in school; organisational and bureaucratic costs that limit the teacher’s search in the field of feedback methods; parents’ attitude towards formal (marking) results; the inability of students to objectively perceive feedback other than formal assessment.The results of the study demonstrate that teachers, on the whole, give a low rating to the readiness of school children to work with detailed feedback and to request it, linking this with the lack of formation of emotional, cognitive and communication skills in their students that they need to request, perceive and interpret full feedback.Scientific novelty. …”
