Weekly Reflections (T2W3) on AFL

I agree that constant feedback is very important and will help the students learn and strengthen their understanding of the lesson.

For every new sub-topic that is taught, we should try to allocate the last 10 to 15 minutes for a quick check of the students' understanding. This can be done via a short quiz and immediate sharing of answers to check the misconceptions of the topic.

Another method is using mass testing of a few questions via 1) flashing of answers on white board or 2) hand signals.

In this way,we will be in a better position to assess our students' understanding and from there, provide useful feedback on their mistakes immediately.

I find that the earlier the feedback for misconceptions are given, the better the students retain and remember the correct concepts. If we delay our feedback given after a few days, the chances are that they will subconsciously remember the wrong concepts for a long period of time and find it hard to remember the correct concepts.

For my lessons, i will try whenever possible, to provide feedback after each learning of a new concept.
