How much feedback do teachers give to the learners? How do teachers provide this feedback?
Unluckily, most of the students have almost identical educational experiences like mine every day. That is the question comes to my mind. "Why is that most of the teachers think that giving feedback must be negative and restorative? Because of the only way students will learn. I dont think so. The only thing I have learn from past to now is that no matter how much I prepared myself to do something, it was bound to be disaster.
So what exactly is feedback? It is any reaction from a teacher notice to a student's performance or behavior. It can be verbal, written or body language. Improving students' performance is the purpose of feedback in the learning process. Students can able to say this " Yes, I can do this". That is the goal.
If I give an example about that I hated public speaking and I can do anything to do get out of it.But I think now I disposed of this thing because first of all, most of the time my teachers give to me encourage and positive feedback about that. Second of all , I need to get rid this feeling because of I will become a teacher at the end.
There are several way to giving feedback by teachers. I want to touch on them. Feedback should be given in a timely manner. What does that mean? Actually, students reacts positively and remember the experience about learned in a fearless manner when feedback is given as soon as after showing proof of learning. If teachers wait too long time to give feedback, students cannot connect the feedback with the action. I have an experience like that most of the time.
As I mentioned above feedback can be given verbally, in written form or using body language. When teachers are giving feedback, they should control their frowns. Facial expressions and body language also means of delivering feedback. Another way to give students feedback is that educate them on how to give feedback each other. For example, in CTE216 class, we have many experiences about that. We have discussed a subject and then we have written blog post about the subject. And at the end we have commented our blogs in a positive and helpful way. That is the model for students what appropriate feedback looks like.
Lastly, I want to touch on. Teachers should be sensitive to the singular needs of the students while giving feedback. Our classrooms are full of various learners. Teachers should be provide a balance between students. It helps to students' feelings to affect better. Because some students need to be stimulated to achieve at a higher level and the others need to be handled politely. Instead of discourage them and damage their self-esteem, teachers should encourage them and improve their self-esteem.
So, There are some sources that I am impressed. First one is a video. And the second one is a caricature.
Finally, I want to write about action research. There are some aspects that my research question. When I investigate my research topic, I would investigate it in five step. First of all, I determine a way of learning about the classroom and it is important that action research requires starting well. Secondly, designing a study is another important part to avoid some questions to which answer is known already. And it is needed that question should be developed. Thirdly, making sense of experience contribute to look my data and analysis. So that I can take into consideration tools when I peek them. I can decide whether it is useful or not. Improving practice is another significant part. It requires that rethink, the change and the results. The final step is beginning again. What does that mean? When developing questions, it comes out as a new and better questions.
