HERE ARE A LIST OF TOPICS THAT I FEEL I WOULD NEED TO REVISITE WITH REGARD TO NICOL (2020)

1. Dialogue and feedback process
2. Metacognition and feedback processes
3. Evaluative judgement, self-assessment and reflection
4. Improving quality and standards as being the only purpose for feedback
5. What authentic feedback means if students are generating it all the time
6. Scope the differences between analytical and analogical comparisons
7. Identify what is unique about comments from experts as a comparison versus other information sources as comparators
8. Examine how the comparison methodology could be used to better develop group working skills
9. Examine how narratives might be used as comparators in the service of emotional learning
10. Rethink the whole notion of student feedback literacy as I believe that current research is leading practitioners to over-focus on dialogue and comments as if they were the only comparators.
