Feedback is:
information
about performance or behaviour
that leads to action to affirm or develop that performance or behaviour.
![Page 3: Giving and Receiving Feedback](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56813075550346895d965343/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Purpose of Feedback
How can we expect people to change and develop if they don’t know what they need
to change?
Unless they get feedback, how do they know what they do well so they can continue
doing it?

Feedback Reality vs Perceptions
Most people really want to know how they are doing. They want to know if other
people like what they’re doing.
They also want to know if something could be done more effectively or if boundaries
are being overstepped.

Feedback is NOT:
• an end in itself• a solution to performance problems or issues• praise or blame, approval or disapproval. Evaluation
means to place value on a performance or piece of work. But feedback is value neutral. It merely describes what you did or did not accomplish, given a standard or intent.
• Derived from tests, exercises or simulations. The activity being assessed is your normal work. You cannot get closer to real life than real life itself.

Giving Feedback
• TIMELY: given as close to the event as possible (taking account of the person’s readiness etc)
• SELECTIVE: addressing one or two key issues rather than too many at once
• BALANCED: good and the bad
• SUGGESTIONS not PRESCRIPTIONS

Giving Feedback
• DESCRIPTIVE, non-judgemental, based on behaviour not personality
"I notice that you don’t look at people when they are talking to you".
"I think your selfish in that you don’t listen to anyone else".

Examples
‘you fool! Cant you remember that I needed these accounts for the meeting yesterday?’
“Shirley, I need the accounts for 2pm on Friday for the management meeting later in the afternoon.”
‘John, you always look as if you have just got out of bed but your work is good on the whole)
‘John, I would like you to take more care with your appearance in order to make a better impression’
‘Some of you are not achieving your performance goals. You have to improve.’
‘Richard, you have not achieved your performance goals this week. Can we talk about it & work out some plans to improve?’

Giving Feedback
• DIRECTED towards behaviour that can be changed
‘I really don’t like your face/your height/the fact that you are bald etc’
‘It would help me if you smiled more or looked at me when you speak’

But… before you give feedback
always ask yourself:• What is my intention behind giving this person
feedback?• How am I feeling about giving it?• How is the other person feeling; if they have had
a stressful day, might be best left for another occasion. It is important they are in the right frame of mind to accept it
BOTH PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL CALM

The Impact of Feedback
The person receiving the feedback can react with:• Anger – ‘I’ve had enough of this’• Denial – this reaction often accompanies the initial shock
of feedback ‘I cant see any problem with that’• Blame – ‘It’s not my fault. What can you expect when
the patient won’t listen?• Rationalisation – finding excuses to try and justify their
behaviour ‘I’ve had a particularly bad week’ ‘Doesn’t everyone do this?’
• Acceptance• Renewed Action

what type of feedback might you get?
• written/verbal individualised eg a particular assignment
• written/verbal general feedback to your class eg on most common errors/successes on an exam paper
• checklists/proforma eg headings of assessment criteria, with comments below
• assessment criteria grid, showing where you are placed against each criteria
• model answers• computerised eg multiple-choice questions• "Off the cuff" comments from others eg "You're really
good at…"
