In self-selected feedback timing, feedback is delivered when the learner...

• A. Performs perfectly
• B. Abandons the task
• C. Requests it
• D. Happens to be available

Answer: (C)

Self-selected feedback timing means the learner controls when feedback is provided, usually by requesting it after or during an attempt. This matches the idea that feedback is delivered when the learner asks for it, giving them guidance exactly when they feel they need it. It empowers the learner to decide the moment of assistance instead of waiting for automatic or fixed timing. The other scenarios don’t fit: feedback after a perfect performance isn’t about the learner choosing when to receive it; abandoning the task has no feedback timing; and simply being available implies a passive timing not controlled by the learner. For example, a student can choose to request feedback after attempting a problem, getting guidance on that specific attempt.
