The biggest mistake people make when learning is overlooking the power of feedback.
Feedback is essential information that helps learners understand their performance, highlighting what they did well and where they can improve.
It serves as a crucial bridge to their goals.
When delivered in a timely and constructive manner, feedback enhances engagement and boosts motivation, guiding learners on their path to success.
So, how do you ensure feedback is timely and constructive?
Timely feedback:
Provided soon after the performance or task
Allows learners to connect feedback to their actions while the experience is fresh
Helps to address issues before they become habits
Constructive feedback:
Focuses on specific behaviors or outcomes rather than personal attributes
Offers actionable suggestions for improvement
Encourages self-reflection, prompting learners to think critically about their progress
