Giving feedback to students
Research (for example; Duffy 2013, Fry et al 2015) has confirmed what most
teachers already know: providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly
enhance learning and improve student engagement and achievement. Consider
feedback as written or oral developmental advice on a student’s performance,
and that it is fundamental to the learning process. The objective of feedback is to
help learners maximise their potential, raise awareness of their strengths and
areas for improvement, and should include action points or targets to improve
performance.
