Reporting on research results to students, teachers and institutions is a big challenge within competence assessment research: students individually have to be given feedback about how they performed, teachers have to be provided with information about their classes, education authorities are interested in actual research results. For feedback being helpful for students, teachers and institutions, the following questions have to be thought of: (1) Who is the feedback given to.What is the aim of the feedback.(2) Which results shall be reported.(3) How should feedback theoretically look like.And (4) how does feedback depend on the given general framework.The given article discusses these questions and offers a checklist to research projects with a focus on competence assessment. © Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden 2013.
