Feedback is essential to improve learning, as it enables students to improve the quality of what they learn. For it to be useful, remember that it must:
- Guiding for understanding
- Reporting their progress
- Guiding towards the following subject objectives
- Encouraging self-regulation
- Increasing confidence and motivation
Within the classroom this can be done through questions, self-assessment questionnaires discussed in class, or games such as Kahoot! which have been described in assessment. The point is to obtain two-way feedback, so that teachers can learn first-hand about their students' difficulties and students can pass this on to improve their progress.
