What’s so tricky about feedback and error correction? Problem 1: Because we see giving feedback as a key teacher role,
aren’t criticizing—we’re just doing our job. However, learners will tend to perceive any feedback as a judgment on them.
Problem 2: Even when we try to be neutral in feedback, our reactions and body language may often reveal when we feel
students have “missed the mark. ” Problem 3: Failure to give correction when it is needed.
Group Work Let’s devise some principles for giving quality, meaningful feedback to students—in terms of our evaluations
during whole group classroom participation. Think about What good feedback should do for the student What good
feedback shouldn’t do TO the student Practices/techniques we can use to provide supportive feedback. .
Affective vs. Cognitive Feedback All feedback is both “affective” (about “feelings”) and cognitive (about “learning”). Some
examples: Primarily Affective: “What kind of idiot are you? “Wow, I like what you’ve done! Primarily Cognitive: “I think
you’ve made an error. ” “Yes, that’s correct. ” Note that both kinds of feedback can be positive, negative, or neutral.
Can You Think of an Example for Each Box? FEEDBACK VARIATIONS Positive Affective/Positive Cognitive Negative
Affective/ Positive Cognitive Positive Affective/Negative Cognitive Negative Affective/Negative Cognitive
Correction Sheets—Again
By carefully reading through solution sheets, and then evaluating the work of others,
students begin to understand what constitutes a good solution. Students may then reflect on their own
work and realize what is expected of them in the future.
