Educational Leadership:Feedback for Learning:Seven Keys to Effective Feedback - 0 views

  • feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal
    • Denise Caparula
       
      Good or bad, some kind of information related to student effort needs to be relayed.
  • the sooner I get feedback, the better
    • Denise Caparula
       
      Waiting until the last week of class to provide any kind of feedback has no point.
  • What specifically should I do more or less of next time, based on this information?
    • Denise Caparula
       
      Keep this question in mind when providing student feedback.

  • What makes any assessment in education formative is not merely that it precedes summative assessments, but that the performer has opportunities, if results are less than optimal, to reshape the performance to better achieve the goal. In summative assessment, the feedback comes too late; the performance is over.
  • Although the universal teacher lament that there's no time for such feedback is understandable, remember that "no time to give and use feedback" actually means "no time to cause learning." As we have seen, research shows that less teaching plus more feedback is the key to achieving greater learning. And there are numerous ways—through technology, peers, and other teachers—that students can get the feedback they need.

    Another great source on providing timely feedback throughout the course to enhance student learning.

Student Perceptions | The Center for Teaching and Learning | UNC Charlotte - 2 views

    Student perceptions on online learning
  •  
    Very interesting indeed. I have always thought that students are more reflective when they post their responses online than when we are having F2F discussions in the classroom. And now it's supported by surveys. In the end it's true though that even if online courses require more self-motivation and time-management skills, student engagement still relies a lot on how the instructor manages the online classroom. Thanks for posting!

Please, I will be interested in any response or comment on this?
