Feedback Strategies

Feedback Strategies

Feedback is about giving information in a way that encourages the recipient to accept it, reflect on it, learn from it, and hopefully make changes for the better. Being able to give feedback is a skill that is useful in your personal and professional lives. 

The two article that i want to write about are:

Be a mirror and Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job"

Be a mirror

I like the phrase "Be a mirror" as i think it is very catchy phrase. I think being a mirror to someone is to understand and gain their importation information. After knowing their information we then can give feedback on our thoughts about their information or share our own experience. We are not meant to judge them as the mirror job is to reflect back. 

one of the quality feedback is to focus on the process and the work on the reader put in. When we focus on the process. We can show their effort on the work and it is valued and important.

Giving feedback can make plenty of changes in their work such as improving or understanding more of the concept.

Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job"

From reading the article there are topics that i liked reading and want to talk about them.

Losing Interest:

For example of this is when a kid is doing something as painting or drawing.  Stop saying "Good Job" and say "Good painting!" may get children to keep painting for as long as we keep watching and praising. It encourage the children to do well  and to complete on their drawings. 

It is said by Lilian Katz, one of the country’s leading authorities on early childhood education, "once attention is withdrawn, many kids won’t touch the activity again." Indeed, an impressive body of scientific research has shown that the more we reward people for doing something, the more they tend to lose interest in whatever they had to do to get the reward. 

Now the point isn’t to draw, to read, to think, to create – the point is to get the goody, whether it’s an ice cream, a sticker, or a "Good job!"

Be a mirror

The mirror is reflecting/ showing the care to safety path.
