The Key to Improvement Image source: Feedback Padlet |
The articles The Trouble with “Amazing”: Giving Praise that Matters and The Difference Between Praise and Feedback both state that when we say "Good Job!" or "Your amazing" we are praising the person and not necessarily the effort that they put in their work. They also talk about how saying just phrases of praise it is not necessarily helping the person improve, we are also not specifically telling them what they did well either. Reading through the feedback gallery, people were both praising the author on what they did right but also provided input in what could make the story better and even asked questions in things that they did not understand. I think these type of strategies are good ones to use when giving constructive feedback, we all have different minds so providing outside input is good to help us improve as long as we are not giving in a form of negativity I think it is good to not such use praise words by trying to be nice but be more specific in our feedback like what the authors suggested in the articles.
