Summary

TLDRThis discussion on feedback in educational settings reveals that ego-involving feedback, which compares students to each other, can harm achievement and motivation. Instead, task-involving feedback, focused on improvement and specific actions, promotes better learning outcomes. Effective feedback encourages critical thinking rather than emotional responses, emphasizing a growth mindset where abilities are seen as incremental. This approach empowers students to engage more deeply with their work, fostering resilience and a desire to learn rather than merely protecting their self-esteem.

Q & A

  • What is the main focus of the feedback discussed in the transcript?

    -The main focus is on distinguishing between ego-involving feedback and task-involving feedback, emphasizing that task-involving feedback is more effective for student achievement.

  • How does ego-involving feedback affect student performance?

    -Ego-involving feedback, which focuses on a student's position compared to peers, is often less effective and can lead to lower achievement and negative outcomes.

  • What is an example of task-involving feedback?

    -An example of task-involving feedback would be telling a student what they need to improve and how to achieve that improvement, rather than praising them for being one of the best.

  • What role does student well-being play in responding to feedback?

    -Students often choose to protect their well-being in response to feedback; if they perceive a threat to their self-esteem, they may disengage from learning rather than focus on improvement.

    -Teachers can implement these principles by providing specific, constructive feedback that outlines what students need to do to improve and how they can achieve that.
