Encourage feedback for making your child confident
October 3, 2008
Certainly feedback is an important tool for developing your child’s confidence, but whenever this tool is not appropriately assessed, motivated or carried out efficiently and effectively; it leaves you with little benefits. So to make a feedback technique a success in today’s classrooms, teaches should take adequate steps so that the systematic feedback technique also aids in their teaching method too.
Try to make feedback comprehensive:
Feedback should be both on product on the process and the product of learning. It is important that a teacher should appreciate the efforts and unique style of every child in her classroom. It also needs to provide a description of the expected learning outcomes and help the child to assess his or her learning.
Involving the child:
Effective verbal feedback entails attentive listening by the teacher and other children. In most of the cases, it is seen that the classroom discourse remains closed with the teacher wielding power to initiate questions and also evaluate the responses as ‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ Efforts should be aligned to make learning a two-way approach wherein a child initiates questions and other children offer prospective. In such a classroom there is shift from conventional unidirectional flow of information.
It should be according to child’s need:
A teacher should vary the feedback according to a child’s level of accomplishment. for e.g. if a child who has just begun to write receives a punitive feedback telling that he or she needs to improve her spellings or check grammar use , them it can prove to be de-motivating on his or her efforts. It important that teacher provides a constructive feedback highlighting the strengths of the written piece. A teacher should use feedback technique to enhance and not dismiss learning. A teacher should try conveying his or her expectations in a more subtle and suggestive way to a child.
