Lessons of Feedback in Higher Education in Sweden

• Lessons learned in the feedback process are atwo-sided coin that ultimately guide the PhD candidatetowards becoming an independent researcher as well aseducating “reader/docents” in their role as supervisor.Building on a brief literature review, observations from 14interviewed PhD candidates were reflected upon and these arethe suggested lessons learned. The study’s preliminary findingssuggest that feedback is most productive when it is organized,systematic, and tends to offer guidance rather than directinstruction. Perhaps of greatest significance is the need to haveconsistent dialogue about the feedback’s form and contentbetween student and supervisor(s).
