Abstract
Providing feedback is a crucial element of teaching and powerful for improving student learning. Yet, monitoring and assessing individual students’ performance to provide tailored feedback can be challenging, especially in large classes. Teacher dashboards can provide teachers with information about individual students and support them in identifying student needs and providing feedback aligned with students’ performance. We conducted a field study in German secondary schools (N = 7 teachers, n = 225 students) to investigate which dashboard information teachers based their feedback on, and to what extent teachers used the information to tailor their feedback to students’ needs. Our study adds empirical evidence that teachers can utilise teacher dashboards to provide students on different performance levels with differential feedback.
