Abstract

Although large language models (LLMs) show promise for generating educational feedback, it remains unclear how feedback should be designed (e.g., tone and information coverage) to support answer revision and learner acceptance across diverse learner profiles. We define six feedback designs for multiple-choice biology questions, including a baseline design and variants with additional feedback elements, and conduct an empirical study with high school students. We evaluate feedback using immediate revision performance and six subjective evaluation criteria, and analyze how feedback preferences vary across learner profiles based on personality traits. Our results show that feedback with clear and comprehensive guidance improves revision performance and receives favorable evaluations across learner profiles, whereas informational novelty and affective framing vary across profiles. These findings suggest that learner profiles should be considered when designing LLM-generated feedback.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
  • The abstract does not clearly describe the evaluation setup.
  • The abstract does not clearly name benchmarks or metrics.
