What do I gain from learner feedback?
- Am I providing my learners with what they require to improve and excel?
- What do they really think about the lessons?
- What are their expectations from me as their teacher?
- What am I doing right and what changes should I be making?
- What are their preferred ways of learning?
- What should I do to make a better lesson plan the next time?
- Are the students enjoying learning?
Finding out what your learners think, want, expect, and need helps you to understand how you can make your lessons more effective. Asking for their feedback involves them in the learning process and helps them to take responsibility for their learning. It encourages two-way reflection. You can also let your learners know when you try out something new and find out whether they felt it was successful. The focus is always on methodology, materials, tasks, activities etc and not on judging you as a teacher.
There are many simple ways to get a feedback of which a few are questionnaires, reflective thinking and having a comment box in class for those who feel shy to come forward and speak to you.
