Feedback
Feedback is a vital component when a new skill is being developed, it is vital for the learner to know how their performance compares to the desired outcome.
Feedback is essential for learning to take place.
To simplify, feedback can be broken into three categories:
Feedback that comes from within a student.
e.g. from feelings and the sensory perception and proprioceptive pathways
This is feedback that comes from an external source.
e.g. from the instructor, or from watching video
Augmented feedback represents a collaboration between the instructor and the student.
Since augmented feedback is collaborative, it involves the student’s understanding and/or awareness, it engages the student in critical thought and experimentation.
e.g. it is matching the internal feedback the student is feeling with external observations and comments from the instructor
Other Types Of Feedback
Positive & Negative Feedback
It’s possible to present any type of feedback in both a positive and negative way.
Initial & Delayed Feedback
Do you give the feedback straight away, or do you give that feedback later, e.g. at the end of the day.
Feedback - Checking For Understanding
Checking for understanding is when the instructor receives feedback from the student to gain a clear picture of the student’s level of understanding.
Observe – Ask – Listen
