Abstract

This paper presents the challenges of formative feedback as a promoter of valuable learning. To do this, we refer to the conceptual considerations that account for the central characteristics of this process, taking into account the theoretical contributions. Moreover, given that the purpose is to make available suggestions for use in classrooms-both in universities and at different levels of schooling-, we present the conditions and obstacles on which formative feedback is based to promote deep understandings, as well as strategies to offer it.
