Bringing together the work of experts from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, this book provides the evidence and guidance required to improve feedback practices for students on placements. The chapters tackle questions such as how feedback can be used in work contexts, what types of feedback can learners engage with and how using feedback in classrooms differs from navigating it in the workplace. It also addresses how learners can make feedback effective for them in work-based placement contexts.
On a practical level, the volume provides directions for educational design and stakeholder engagement, as well as a framework to support students in managing feedback processes for themselves in complex environments. The chapters also outline ways in which university and industry partners can work together to design tasks, conditions and systems to better support learners in navigating feedback in their dual roles as learners and participants “on the job”. The approaches presented will improve feedback practices and generate more productive workplace learning experiences to help students to develop "feedback capabilities" that will hold them in good stead as they move into the workforce beyond graduation.
Led by experts Elizabeth Molloy and David Boud, this is an essential resource for educators, curriculum designers, educational leaders and students involved in workplace learning.
“This insightful collection advances the field by examining feedback in the distinctive context of placements and workplace learning. It captures the realities in which students must navigate and actively shape their own feedback processes without consistent access to educators and in the absence of tightly integrated curricula. By combining scholarship with grounded practice, the volume offers a highly relevant account that will reshape how we think about feedback in workplace learning. An important and practical contribution to both scholarship and professional education.”

“Feedback Practices at Work: Maximizing Student Learning on Placements makes an important and novel contribution to the education literature. It offers a richly theorized and practically grounded contribution to contemporary understandings of feedback and learning in placement settings. It frames feedback as a socially, culturally, materially, and relationally embedded practice, moving well beyond narrow conceptions of information transmission. Its nuanced treatment of learner agency and feedback literacy equips readers to navigate complex, and sometimes imperfect, workplace contexts with reflexivity and confidence. By foregrounding relationships, materiality, and context, the book bridges theory and practice in ways that will resonate with educators, supervisors, and learners alike. I found this book to be an intellectually rigorous and timely work that significantly advances scholarship and practice in work-based feedback. I’ve assigned it a prominent place in my library.”
