Formative feedback strategies are considered powerful means for effective teaching and learning. Yet, the large body of feedback research reveals that their effects depend from many factors (Lipnevich & Panadero, 2021; Panadero & Lipnevich, 2022; Wisnieswski, et al. 2020; Narciss, 2008; Shute 2008). 

In my talk, I will describe how tutoring feedback strategies can be designed and evaluated on the basis of the interactive two feedback loops model (ITFL-model; e.g. Narciss, 2008; 2013; 2017; 2020). The ITFL-model conceptualizes formative tutoring feedback as a multidimensional instructional activity that aims at contributing to the regulation of learning processes in such a way that learners acquire or improve their competencies needed to master learning tasks. Based on this multi-dimensional view of formative tutoring feedback several studies have been conducted (e.g., Narciss, 2004; Narciss & Huth, 2006; Narciss et al. 2014; Kapp, Spangenberger, Kruse, & Narciss, 2019; Narciss, Prescher, Khalifah, & Körndle, 2020; Laudel & Narciss, 2023). Selected insights of these studies will be used to illustrate and discuss methodological challenges and implications for designing and investigating multiple effects of feedback under multiple individual and situational conditions.
