FEEDBACK AS A GUIDING DISPOSITIVE

Sabrina Manuela Emilio, Hassjba Salvadori, Andrea Giacomantonio

Abstract


The risk society demands adaptive competencies grounded in the development of balanced evaluative habits. Within this framework, rigorous and reflective assessment—understood as a formative tool—may help regulate both learning and teaching. Feedback becomes a key dispositive for enhancing performance and fostering self-regulation, thereby supporting Deweyan adaptation. The promotion of self-, peer-, and internal feedback may contribute to improved learning outcomes and overall well-being.
