A study by John M. Weathers, Ph.D., shines a light on the impact of Mote use for delivering improvements in feedback frequency, volume and perceived efficacy. This research, conducted across schools in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, is consistent with a broader literature - surveyed in the report - that identifies the positive effects of audio feedback.
Weathers’ study explores various dimensions of Mote's impact, revealing that teachers who utilize the app not only provide more frequent and detailed feedback but also perceive a significant improvement in their students' engagement and learning outcomes. This increase in feedback quality and quantity, enabled by Mote’s efficiency and ease of use, points to a notable enhancement in educational practices.
The study showcases how Mote enables feedback that is not only more personalized and specific but also imbued with the warmth and clarity only the human voice can convey. This nuanced feedback fosters a more profound connection between teachers and students, catalyzing learning and growth.
Moreover, the research suggests a perceived shift in student behavior— a move away from a fixation on grades towards a genuine eagerness for improvement.For educators, Mote offers a powerful tool to enhance their feedback's impact, fostering a more engaging and effective learning experience. For students, it provides a richer, more supportive learning environment that emphasizes growth and achievement.
