Feedback for Learning
Why It’s So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback, by Tim Herrera
The article talks about the reasons why negative feedback is very hard to assimilate. It boils down to the fact most of us don't do a good job of delivering negative feedback.
Here are some tactics to help us deliver and receive negative feedback:
- Trust that everyone is participating in good faith.
- Deliver negative feedback openly and honestly.
- Think about how feedback will ultimately lead to self-improvement.
How to Give Feedback
The Difference Between Praise and Feedback, by Anya Kamenetz
The article focus on process praise. It talks about how praising the process leads to a growth mindset, and how praising traits leads to a fixed mindset. In order to avoid just giving out praise and give good feedback, avoid using generic blanket statements; ask questions, be specific about what it is you talking about.
I really liked the strategist for dealing with negative feedback from the first article. I think that second article provides useful details about the difference between praise and feedback.
Hello again, Kevin!
ReplyDeleteI personally didn't read either of these articles, but I like the things you wrote about them. Particularly, I find the process praise very insightful and think that it applies to my own academic experiences the most. In the music field, we are always learning and are always on a path. There is never a time where we think we've perfected our technique, and therefore we may only praise the process!
