\n\"feedback\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Providing students with meaningful feedback<\/a> can greatly enhance learning and improve student achievement. In an Edutopia blog post, Marianne Stenger, provided five research-based tips for providing students with the kind of feedback that will increase their motivation, build on their existing knowledge, and help them reflect on what they've learned. Marianne\u2019s tips are:<\/p>\n

Be as specific as possible.<\/strong> Hearing that you did a great job is wonderful. However, the problem with \u201cgreat job\u201d or \u201cthis needs work\u201d is that it is not specific. Provide students with information on what exactly they did well, and what may still need improvement.<\/p>\n

The sooner the better.<\/strong> Feedback is most effective when it is given immediately, rather than a few days, weeks, or months down the line.<\/p>\n

Address the learner's advancement toward a goal.<\/strong> When giving feedback, it should be clear to students how the information they are receiving will help them progress toward their final goal.<\/p>\n

Present feedback carefully.<\/strong> The way feedback is presented can have an impact on how it is received, which means that sometimes even the most well-meaning feedback can come across the wrong way and reduce a student's motivation.<\/p>\n

Involve learners in the process.<\/strong> When students have access to information about their performance, they develop an awareness of their learning, and are more easily able to recognize mistakes and eventually develop strategies for tackling weak points themselves.<\/p>\n
