Feedback definition

« La rétroaction se définit comme une information que l’enseignant fournit à l’étudiant à propos de la réalisation des tâches d’apprentissage. Cette rétroaction peut être réalisée dans un contexte formel ou informel ainsi qu’à différents moments du processus d’apprentissage. La rétroaction devient un soutien à l’apprentissage et permet à l’étudiant de progresser ou d’aller de l’avant (feedforward), lorsqu’elle :�

• Donne l’occasion à l’étudiant de prendre du recul par rapport à un travail et qu’elle vise à l’améliorer.
• Aide à préparer une évaluation finale ou sommative.
• Fournit des clés à l’étudiant pour progresser par la suite de façon plus autonome. »

Lambert, Rossier et Daele (2009)
