Structured Feedback and Metacognition

Research on AI-enabled learning analytics suggests that structured feedback systems can support deliberate reflection and professional reasoning.

How Easy Examiner applies this

• What Went Well — strengths in the student response highlighted for every question
• To Improve — specific areas for development, question by question
• Model Answer — an example of a high-quality response for each question
• Feedback connects directly to mark scheme criteria, supporting exam literacy

Why this matters

Structured feedback supports metacognition, helping students reflect on their thinking and understand how to improve their performance in future assessments.
