Reflections on Feedback: teacher Maria del Pilar Rodríguez

Feedback is very important, especially when talking about teaching, since it is the only way there is to know things are being done properly and it also encourages teachers to improve. Nevertheless it becomes a hard (job) task because teachers don't know how students might react to it. Teachers must be very tactful when giving feedback, it should be in a a friendly way so students won't feel neither criticized nor offended. I think with children it is very dificult to do it that way since the more tactful it is done
the easier they will confuse concepts and won't realize they made a mistake. children don't care about making mistakes, they only care about being undrestood, so if it is something wrong, they will forget very easily. Teachers need to give feedaback, but with children it is a waste of time. They will correct their mistakes little by little; only practice with them will make them aware of them.
