Receiving feedback

Active involvement of students and their parents in the
learning process
Establishing Goals
Your students need to know where they aim. If
they know that it is easier for You and your
students to achieve the goal. Students, who know
only the subject of the lesson but do not know
what is the aim, participate in the lesson less
conciously
If students know the goals, they can work faster,
or stop at the important moment of the lesson
Informing students about the goals
When You define the
aim of the lesson, then
try to express it in
a comprehensible
language for students.
Summing up the lesson
After each lesson You need to check if the
goal was achieved.
Proposal – give students sentences to
complete:
* Today, I have learned …
* I understand that …
* I have reminded myself …
* It surprised me …
*I have achieved the goal, because...
Assessment Criteria
WILF
„What I am looking for”
Teachers should point out,
to what they will pay
attention while assessing
students' work
„Wilf” during the lesson
Defining assessment criteria for the lesson is
profitable:
*the teacher does not deal with the minor tasks,
knows what and how to assess, chooses suitable
methods;
*the student knows exactly what material and
skills should be aquired, concentrates on the goal
achivement, can define what is already known

Key Questions
The key questions:

Feedback
Feedback
Feedback is a dialogue between
the teacher and the student,
dialogue, which helps the student in the learning process.
Feedback - elements
Effective feedback consists of four elements:
*the specification and appreciating good elements of the student's
work;
*a hint - what requires improvement or additional work;
*a hint - how student should improve the work.
Oral Feedback
Oral feedback is the best way of the
dialogue between the teacher and the
student. It allowes to explain doubts.
The well-prepared feedback allowes the
teacher to get to know student's way of
thinking, work methods and gives the
opportunity for better communication.
Feedback for parents
Feedback is essential for parents as well. Properly formulated, allowes
parents to watch children's progress, helping them or motivating to
improve their results.
Organizing meetings parents - teacher - student is very helpful. It is the
perfect opportunity to discuss the student's way of learning and finding
out the best strategy in concrete cases.
Self and Peer Assessment
Odpowiedzialność za własne uczenie się
School is nowadays a place where one has to attend or a place where teachers work, and their duty is to
teach.
How to convince students, that they need to learn, rather than we have
to teach them?
We can encourage students to learn using self and peer- assessment.
If students can assess themselves, it helps them in the learning process and
makes them more active.
Role Changing
Peer-Assessment:
student understands the other student but on the other hand he/she can learn a
diffrent approach to the task.
it is easier for a student to be assessed by a friend because it is expressed in their
language
friendly opinion reduces pupils' rivalry, which possitively influences the process of
learning
students see, that pees-assessment improves their work and does not compare results
students in the role of "teacher” become more responsible and they try hard to write
a good comment.
Self - Assessment
If a student is able to assess
what he already knows and what
to do to reach the goal, then it
helps him in the learning
process and makes him more
active.
Cooperating with parents
Pupils and parents need to be concious participants of the process of the
formative assessment.
Student – formative assessment helps you to
learn.
Parents – can help their children to learn
Cooperation with parents
We explain parents, that we do not give up marks, but we
want to show them what they already know to build their
self-confidence and positive motivation.
Parents got used to marks. We want parents to ask:
What have you learned today?
What have you managed to understand?
Thank You
For Your Attention
