Developing Student Agency Through Feedback Seeking Practices in a CSCL environment

Abstract

Despite significant theoretical advancement on student agency in feedback, most attention has been focused on students' actions toward the feedback received from teachers and peers. Current literature presents gaps in getting learners to seek feedback and understanding feedback seeking tendencies in K-12 learners. With the rapid technological advances and societal changes in the twenty-first century, it is increasingly vital for students to develop feedback seeking practices to constantly self-improve and keep up with the changing times. My research investigates the development of feedback seeking practices in primary school students within a CSCL environment. Design-based research would be conducted where a set of design principles derived from literature would be tested to derive insights into designs to facilitate student agency in feedback practices.
