Macfarlane-Dick (Graham Macfarlane-Dick)

Graham Macfarlane-Dick is an educational researcher known for his work on improving student learning. He developed the concept of " formative assessment," which involves giving students ongoing, constructive feedback to help them understand their progress and identify areas for improvement. His approach emphasizes designing assessments that guide learners to reflect on their understanding and develop self-regulation skills. This framework supports more effective learning by encouraging active participation and self-awareness, ultimately helping students become independent, confident learners and achieve better academic outcomes.
