Analyse The Importance Of Feedback In Supporting Teaching And Learning

To assist pupils to follow instructions it's important that any words or phrases not understood are clearly explained and to ensure that the pupils understand the learning activity now that it's been simplified for them. It's also important that the teaching assistant helps the pupils with the use of the correct vocabulary to make pupils answers understandable. Praise and the setting of realistic targets are amongst the things than can be used to keep pupils focused and motivated. Praise is a very good motivator as the pupils will want to perform and do well in order to gain yet more praise. If any challenges or homework are set for the pupils then it’s important to give plenty of encouragement when the answers need elaborating or correcting. By the pupils being praised on the work they provide then
By setting realistic targets then the work doesn't look too overbearing and appears more easily manageable.
By breaking the work load down like this then the pupils will feel less intimidated by the work expected of them and should hopefully feel more inclined to complete it to gain that all important praise as their reward. Feedback is a good motivator. It encourages them to look at their work and see where it needs improving. This can help them gain satisfaction from their learning and teach them to start to look at their work
