Feedback vs Feedforward: Shifting the Paradigm in Learning and Performance

Abstract This study examines the increasing importance of feedforward as a revolutionary pedagogical approach in contemporary education. Beyond the conventional boundaries of evaluative feedback, feedforward is concerned with future improvement and developmental advice, providing learners with constructive hints prior to or in the course of a learning activity. This change facilitates a more optimistic and proactive teaching and learning strategy, minimizing learner anxiety and maximizing motivation. In contrast to feedback, which commonly focuses on past mistakes, feedforward promotes the growth mindset because it instills in students the idea that their strengths can be developed further through effort and thoughtful consideration (Dweck, 2006). It creates a classroom culture that values progress and potential more than judgment and criticism.

The research underscores the fact that feedforward not only enhances learner participation but also fortifies student-teacher relationships by facilitating open communication and reflective practice. Through a focus on actionable guidance and forward planning, feedforward enables students to develop self-regulation and ownership of their learning (Hattie & Timperley, 2007). Furthermore, within the framework of formative assessment, feedforward acts as an essential bridge between teaching and assessment, leading students toward mastery while facilitating ongoing growth (Wiliam, 2011). The incorporation of feedforward strategies into pedagogy has the potential to improve academic achievement, create a positive learning environment, and develop lifelong learning skills. As education systems place greater emphasis on personalized and student-centered learning, the use of feedforward becomes not only pertinent, but critical to effective and sustainable learning outcomes.
