Learning Objective By the end of this module, you will be able to: • Recognize 4 characteristics of giving feedback that facilitate change
Why Is Feedback Important to the Learner? • Clarifies goals & expectations • Reinforces good performance • Basis for correcting mistakes (formative) • Reference point for evaluation (summative) • Insight into actual vs. intended performance • Reduces anxiety, insecurity about performance • Demonstrates interest about learner as person • Promotes two-way communication • Provides guidance Krackov in Dent & Harden, 2009
Constructive Feedback Motivates Behavior Change If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is [feedback] to turn him around. Jim Rohn
Five common feedback issues • Positive reinforcement without constructive criticism • Feedback that is too general • Feedback on areas unrelated to specific learning goals • Constructive criticism but no suggestions for improvement • Unaware of ways to facilitate improved feedback
Delivery • Decide when and where to give it • Decide how and how much to give • Give the learner the opportunity to respond to the feedback and to be involved in creating plans for improvement
A two-way dialogue • Motivate the learner • Reduce risk • Define goals • Identify differences between learner’s achievement and the expected • Provide direction • Deconstruct the task to make it more achievable
Effective feedback focuses on conveying information to learners • What they do well that they should be doing more of • What they are doing that they may not need to do • What they aren’t doing that they should consider doing Alternatively: • Saw them doing • Didn’t see them doing • Want to see them doing
Reflective feedback develops self-assessment & leads to discussion about improvement plans. • Ask learner for concerns about performance • Provide views on performance of concerns & offer support • Ask learner to reflect on what might improve the situation • Elaborate on the leaner’s response, correcting for understanding as needed. Cantillio & Sargeant, BMJ, 2008
10 Characteristics of Constructive Feedback • Two-way dialogue • Descriptive vs. evaluative • Specific vs. general • First-hand data • Focus on behavior, decisions & actions, not assumed intentions or interpretations
10 Characteristics of Constructive Feedback (cont.) • Well-timed and expected • Amount of information the receiver can use • Teacher and learner working as allies, with common goals • Opportunity to respond to the feedback and to be involved in creating plans for improvement Expanded by William H.
