Professors Javier Tourón and Ángel Sobrino have presented in 'Las tardes del committee Escolar de Navarra' a study on feedback in teaching practices, commissioned by the INEE. high school National Education assessment (INEE), and which has its origin in the data on which the report TALIS 2013 is based.

TALIS (Teaching and Learning International Survey) is a study promoted by the OECD whose main goal is to provide information on educational processes through surveys of teachers and school principals. With this, it is intended to contribute to the development of international indicators that help countries to develop their educational policy with respect to academic staff and the process of teaching and learning. The high school Nacional de assessment Educativa (INEE) acts as coordinator and organizer of the study in Spain and, in turn, requests certain researchers to elaborate a secondary report of research focused on any aspect they consider relevant in relation to the report TALIS before its public dissemination.

The secondary report presented by Javier Tourón and Ángel Sobrino (University of Navarra) and Luis Lizasoain (University of the Basque Country) has been elaborated under the degree scroll "Analysis of the impact of feedback on the teaching practices of Spanish teachers in the TALIS 2013 study". In it, the researchers have analyzed the teaching practices of teachers, determined their grouping and extracted interesting results. "We have seen that there is a group of practices more focused on the teacher and others more on the student. As a relevant fact we have concluded that the greatest impact of feedback occurs mainly in the practices centered on student. Teachers who carry out teaching practices centered on themselves, whether or not they receive feedback has less effect; these data could suggest a reciprocal causality: the more feedback, the more innovation and vice versa," said Javier Tourón, one of the researchers. He has also determined that "more than a quarter of Spanish teachers have never received any observation, comment or evaluative judgment on their task" subject .

These and other conclusions have been shown in the quotation known as 'Las tardes del committee Escolar de Navarra' where the report TALIS has been presented and in which have participated the president of the Parliament of Navarra; Alberto Catalán, the counselor of Education, José Iribas; the analyst of the OECD, Julie Bélanger; the director of the INEE, Ismael Sanz; and the professors of the School of Education and Psychology of the University of Navarra, Javier Tourón and Ángel Sobrino, among others.
