Feedback Strategies

 Article one:

Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback

I chose this first article to give feedback on because i was drawn to the topic the moment i read the heading of the page. Immediately i put together what the article would consist of and i am glad to say that i was nowhere near disappointed with the information that i acquired. This article speaks the truth as it tells us about how people have been providing feedback for a long time now. This article explains the art of how we should provide feedback and tells us that we should be giving feedback in a way that will allow progressions and allow one to work with the feedback rather than giving them feedback on something they cannot alter.

Here are some points from the Article:

- We can change the future. We can’t change the past.

-  It can be more productive to help people learn to be “right,” than prove they were “wrong.”

- Feedforward is especially suited to successful people.

-  Feedforward can come from anyone who knows about the task. It does not require personal experience with the individual. 

- People do not take feedforward as personally as feedback.

- Feedforward can cover almost all of the same “material” as feedback.

- Feedforward tends to be much faster and more efficient than feedback.

Article two:

Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?

In this part of the blog i will be talking about how things affect the mindsets of kids.

Kids are very easily influenced by the things around them such as word of mouth , School,  television and the things they learn on the internet and when they are out with their friends. 

This article shows us how we can work towards developing the mindset of children using their easily influenced minds to soak up information that can be beneficial to them and have a positive effect on their mindset growth from an early age.
