"With a fixed mindset comes resistance to working hard and putting extra effort in because there is really no point. When it comes to developing ownership and independence, having a growth mindset is imperative in the learning process."
I realize that I've been giving feedback that starts with, "I really like what you said about..." and it's not very substantial because I can only give them what they want to hear. In a face-to-face conversation, I block out and give feedback like this. But in a virtual realm, knowing that I can digest and analyze their work and words deeply, giving this kind of feedback will be a disservice to them.
After reading the article Be a Mirror, I will try to follow the five qualities of a feedback as Goldberg shared: be specific, focus on what the reader is doing, focus on the process and the work the reader put in, make sure it can transfer, and take yourself out of the feedback.
I would like to be a catalyst for transformation and being a mirror allows me to have the outlet to change myself and help other flourish with the feedback I may give.
Hi, Regina!
ReplyDeleteI like your thoughts on this issue. I'm just like you because when giving feedback face to face I always start giving a superficial one, but I think it happens to everyone haha. I think it's because of the pressure of being in front of someone who may not like to hear what we have to say. So I agree that when we are giving feedback online, we'll have more time to analyze things and we can be more helpful to those who we are giving the feedback.
Hi Regina! I like how you were able to self-reflect that often you tell people what they want to hear. That is nice, but I am glad that you realized that online you can give our fellow classmates constructive criticism on their work because you are right that this will only help. It is not to be mean but to help. This class is the place to give constructive criticism.
