Feedback is an effective method to use which helps to aid children 's learning. This method is used frequently in the class I work with. For example, the teacher marks children 's homework, other worksheets the children did in class, which I then file in the children 's folders. The teacher then gives them feedback by writing comments on the sheets stating how good the child accomplish the task or whether the child needed to put more effort in completing the task, also the teacher wrote if the child needs improvement. For example, he would guide the child what he can do next time in order to improve his work. Based on my own experience I think feedback is a great method to use in educational settings as it guides children 's learning. For

This feedback guides me how to improve which can help me to boost my grades up in the next assignment. However, some may argue that feedback can affect children 's self esteem, especially if the feedback is negative (Green, 2011). However, if an individual avoids giving negative feedback then that feedback will not be useful for the child because they will not know where they are at in their progress and will not know what skills they need to develop in order to succeed (Green, 2011). To avoid the issue of affecting children 's self esteem I think that the professionals can give a feedback that contains both positive and ' room for improvement ' feedback. In this way the children knows what they need to do in order to …show more content…
For example, the teacher would get the children to sit at their desks and she would be at the front teaching the lesson. While the teacher is explaining the lesson, the children are sat quietly and listening to the teacher. However, during the lesson the teacher does interact with them by asking children questions that relate to the lesson, this is to test whether the children are listening and whether they are taking in what the teacher is telling them. However, I think that the lessons should be less structured as children can learn more than just sitting and listening to the teacher. For example, I feel that the children should be able to move around the class and work in a group with other children so they can share their ideas to each other and comment on it. This increases learning as children are sharing their knowledge of the topic. Also by doing this it helps to boost children 's social development. This links to Meads theory. His theory is about the social self and he explains how self can emerge from social interactions such as interacting with other children and expressing feelings to them etc (Hurst, n.d). I agree with this because the more the children interact at a young age, meet new people their confidence will increase when they are socialising with different people. Vygotsky also agrees with Mead as in his socio-cultural theory he states how important social interactions are for the child 's
