The recursive feedback concept

The recursive feedback concept signifies a transformative approach to education, embracing an iterative, continuous improvement process. Departing from traditional linear feedback models, this concept, evident in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) like those on platforms such as Coursera and edX, introduces ongoing, dynamic feedback throughout the learning journey. Learners not only receive formative feedback during assessments but engage in a continuous dialogue, fostering reflection and skill refinement.

This concept aligns with metacognitive principles, encouraging learners to be aware of their learning processes and adapt based on received feedback. It shifts the educational paradigm from a static assessment tool to a dynamic force that empowers learners towards continuous improvement and mastery, cultivating adaptability and growth.
