Students’ reasoning and feedback from a teacher

• The present study investigates how to support students’ creative reasoning when they need assistance in solving non-routine tasks. Two groups of 11–12-year-old students solved the same tasks, one group receiving feedback directed at the task solution and the other feedback directed at their thinking processes. The results showed that stu- dents who received feedback directed at their thinking processes expressed reason- ing based on their attempts to solve tasks while the other group often repeated the researcher’s suggestions for solutions. However, there were some instances in which feedback on task level entailed students engaging in creative reasoning.
