‘Culturally-appropriate and effective feedback’
Enhance your skills in giving effective feedback
The behavior-changing impact of feedback as we know it, is questionable. When dealing with students from across the world and their performance, you might come across as harsh or too direct and you are not helping the student achieve academic excellence. As a lecturer, study advisor or counsellor, you might want to develop and enhance your spectrum of giving feedback which will be more effective in the process.
About the workshop
During this workshop you will increase ways of giving effective feedback and managing student performance in a transcultural context. You will practice methods that are very useful. You will learn what feedback means in an intercultural context, how it affects the learning process, and what the impact is of the message you communicate to others.
The workshop focuses on formative feedback in the international classroom as well as in another professional setting in higher education. Personal reflection, storytelling, mindful listening and other methods will be practiced. Personal inventories, critical incidents and questionnaires will be used as tools.
You will develop
- Knowledge of teacher roles and student roles in relationship based cultures as well as in task based cultures.
- Awareness of own and other feedback styles in relation to opportunities and risk factors in education.
- Awareness of important intercultural considerations when managing student performance.
- Different methods for giving and receiving feedback and how to apply that in your professional role.
- Understanding of your own cultural assumptions and how they could get in the way when managing student’s performance.
- Self-awareness and coaching techniques which will help you to be more mindful when dealing with cultural diversity.
- Case-based solutions in a supervising students or a guidance setting.
