The Good Game: Developing Feedback Skills through Action Learning

Abstract

Students, especially those from recent generations, typically encounter difficulties providing and receiving feedback. Hence approaches to teach students feedback skills are valuable. This article explores perspectives related to learning feedback by (a) examining the process of feedback, (b) showing how Action Learning as a pedagogical component is supportive of developing feedback skills, (c) explaining a student-led game, "The Good Game," as a tool for learning feedback, and (d) discussing issues and factors related to developing feedback skills among recent generations.
