Feedback is important to students as it helps them to understand that different teachers have different teaching styles and they will encounter many teachers in their lifetime. Additionally feedback helps the student scafold changes into their work for future modules.
I have learned about the different types of formative assessments. I will incorporate some of these in my next course.
Feedback is a great tool to tell the learner that what they are doing is great or needs work. The rubrics allows the teacher to grade against what was expected and listed in the rubric. it gives structure to grading
I like the idea of providing meaningful feedback in a variety of media. Video feedback is an option I would have never thought about using.
I learned that criteria and objectives are the most important things to consider when develping a rubric.
Providing feedback that is specific is helpful for student learning. A "good job" does not provide sufficient information for an improvement.
Rubrics take some of the subjectivity out of written assignments which I prefer as students are not as able to claim favortism over grades
Feedback is essential for struggling students, but highly skilled students typically don't need much. I praise all my students when assignments are good quality. I agree with proper and timely feedback.
Feedback helps in making sudents more efficient learners as well as expanding their abilities to articulate a braoder sense of the subject. It is critical in the retention of knowledge and motivation.
Assessments are used not only to evaluate what students learned, but how well the teacher taught the subject matter. Assessments should consist of both formative and summative activities. In my cooking labs, I use rubrics and assign points if they were successful in certain categories: measuring ingredients, folllowing the recipe, did all students in the group do their assigned tasks, was the kitchen cleaned at the end of the lab, was the lab was a success & would they use the recipe again. Peer assessments would involve evaluating other Lab groups food created & giving constructive criticism too.
Especially in this time of pandemic, it's so important to be getting regular feedback from students, not just on the material to make sure they're still processing the information, but also to encourage participation and connection with the community. As a class that isn't typically done online and is very hands on, this is a great way for my students to stay connected and in communication during a time when there is limited human interaction.
Using a runric can provide feedback for both summative and formative assesments
effective feedback that is connected to learning objectives, and is specific, detailed, individualized and provided in an appropriate way, gives students information to help them increase their knowledge.
Feedback is essential in a student's learning process. It's hard to decipher if written self assessment-feedback is helpful. A rubric definitely informs the student of what is expected of their work, and what the instructor is expecting for the final product. I have found that written peer review feedback is not always helpful. Most of the time, I have reviewed students giving others in their group all exceptional contributions, when you know that one or more students do most of the work. Not sure how to get around that problem.
rubics are essential when giving projects to ensure that the student fully understands what is required and can use it as a checkpoint when gathering and developing their projects.
Feedback is also essential during and at the end of a project.
The corrrect kind of feedback can reinforce and improve the learning process for the student.
There are many ways to provide feedback. Different software, screen grabs, and recordings work well for certain types of assignments. Feedback is crucial to student engagement.
Both formative and summative must be used, use Blooms' Revised Taxonomy, try: one-minute or muddiest-point, criteria is needed to assess students level of achieved objectives, use rubrics to score this, reflections by students are important to help with student's growth including peer assessemnts but guidelines must be clear and complete guidelines, and provide meaningful feedback through audio and written.
Feedback is what students I think live for- and it is especially good if, like in Canvas, you can record your feedback - it woill make it less sterile and more personal.
I like the self assement - I have used this in class before a student was handing in a project- to give some time after creating his/her video and see how they could imporve- also, have another set of eyes look at it, another student and get their observations!
Feedback is just as important as the content. Immediate feedback and instructor comments need to be specific. Whether this is constructive criticism, suggestions to further learning, opportunities for re-teaching, or all of them together will help make the student an active participant in the course verses a student who goes through the motions. Genuine feedback can easily be shown in the information written back to the student. Generic feedback will turn students away. Just because we are not f2f doesn't mean you aren't part of a class, we need to make that happen--feedback is that avenue.
Both formative and summative assessments are vital to teachers receiving an accurate depiction of student knowledge. Rubics are also important for the students understand what the expectations are for the assignment and to receive the appropraite feedback on their assignments.
