Year 12 Semester

In my point of view feedback is an essential tool for learners’ progress. If the student is not assessing their work then they are not learning and given feedback are vital to ensure best practice is maintained and the learners are achieving to their full potential.

Receiving feedback gives us an opportunity to change and modify our behaviour, in order to become more effective at skills.

It increases self-esteem and motivation among students, improves complex and cognitive thinking, creates positive feelings among students and about school, and makes responsible students. Most teachers have the same point of view. They believe that students learn better in collaborative groups than in traditional classroom settings (Zarei and Gilani, 2012: Gilani, 6).

Junior year was full of many new experiences. We were now classified as upper classmen! Just like any of the other years in high school this year had just as many ups and downs. One of the main stresses in eleventh grade was the SAT. For sure one of the scariest things that I have ever had to do. All of the preparation going into it and the amount of studying made me feel as if I wasn’t going to have a brain by the time the testing was over. I took college and career readiness, which really helped prepare me for what was to come. By this time in high school I had already had my job for a little over a month, so I already knew what to expect once school started. I am thankful enough that at my job you get to leave at seven because I hear many

This can show vocabulary words that they have learned, concepts they have mastered, or subjects that they have studied. The teacher can refer back to these lists regularly to reinforce new concepts and build on old ideas. Specific feedback can be integrated into classroom discussions or on student papers, explaining problems or elaborating further on an idea that the student has learned. Immediate feedback can be critical because it can alter the course of the student’s thinking before they become more confused. The teacher who is observant can correct misinformation or misconceptions quickly to avoid further problems in the student’s learning process. This can be a result of classroom discussions, question and answer sessions, and call and response methods. All forms of feedback have benefits and when used together can create a cohesive picture of the student’s abilities and success. Instructional feedback for students can have several benefits ranging from motivating the student to achieve more to helping them develop more refined metacognition and also possibly giving the student a sense of control over their own educational success (Malley, 1994).

Enhanced the quality and performance of students’ work by providing extensive adaptive feedback on assignments including weekly research activities, major papers, film analysis projects, team projects, and standard homework

I began my higher education at Antelope Valley Community College in pursuit of these skills, and graduated cum laude in May 2012 with my Associates in Liberal Arts and Sciences. Shortly after, I was admitted to California State University, Fullerton for my Bachelor’s in Psychology, where I also joined the University’s Delta Epsilon Iota Academic Honor Society. It was here that I also discovered how useful philosophy is in understanding human behavior, and added the subject as a minor to aid me in my studies. My belief is that while psychology generally explains why a person reasons in their particular manner, philosophy explains the different ways that said person could reason. I believe that this will be useful in treating clients, since the philosophy aspect will help me understand the perceived logic that the client holds, which in turn will support the overall treatment.

Solicitation of feedback from my students supports the formative assessments. Solicit ongoing feedback from the students on the class in general, allows me to determine how specific topics and activities can be presented and where if necessary, change is required.

Technology is on the rise, as technology increases in the world and becomes the most used element students are still told to use the old style of learning. As a student myself technology would have been extremely beneficial to us as students making reports, essays, projects, and etc much easier. Students of the twenty-first century have the capability to use such technology, making schooling and learning a much more enjoyable processes. As a result making technology important to students and their education.

During the group discussion, Mrs. Williams would give the students immediate feedback to her questions by handing them a sticker. She was continuously giving positive verbal feedback, such as “I love that, good observations, and excellent

I support Vatterott’s point that homework should be used as a tool to make the learning process more meaningful. Its effectiveness is connected to some key factors: the value of

Without this feedback the student has no independent method of assessing the level of their newly gained

Therefore, a student will be less likely to make alterations in their class if they enjoy it, which also makes teacher’s jobs easier, alleviating the common grievances of current educators. Students will potentially have less homework, as they will be able to solve their problems easier, which makes students even more happy with their education.

There six key principles that should to be considered when implementing effective feedback practices. These six principles look at how feedback can be effectively introduced into the learning environment to further develop students’ performance, promote self-assessment and reflection and promote self-efficacy. This can be done through clearly established criteria and by fostering a positive classroom climate. Not only do these principles aim to benefit students but also teachers as the results of feedback tasks can be used to inform practice and shape future pedagogy. Too often feedback is seen as a test at the end of the unit or at the end point of instruction. Feedback

Students engage in live teleconferencing; closed and open discussion forums; and electronic mail (E-Mail) through which students send their assignments to their tutors for marking, and receive them back with any relevant comments. An on-line library on the Internet is also available.
