What is metacognition?

Metacognition is “thinking about thinking”; awareness of one’s own learning process. Students are more motivated when they take ownership of their own

  • learning. It also helps them become life-long learners.

There are also other strategies other than using rubrics.

Think, Type, Share

THINK: Take a few minutes to reflect in your professional life:

  • What is an example of feedback that was NOT helpful?

What made it not helpful?

  • What is an example of feedback that was helpful? What

made it helpful? TYPE: After reflection, the facilitator will prompt you to type in the chat: a) What kind of feedback was NOT helpful? b) What kind of feedback was helpful?

How to give effective feedback in CCL

Effective feedback enhances learning. You will have access to a repository of feedback strategies, but let’s focus on a couple: ▪ Clear feedback connects to the learning objectives. ▪ Promote metacognition: ask students to evaluate first. ▪ Give feedback in a way that is not embarrassing and promotes growth mindset. ▪ Share success strategies from past and solicit student ideas ▪ Downplay direct instruction: choose words that motivate the students to reflect on the problem they face: ▫ What caused the challenges/problems? ▫ What are action plans/strategies forward?

Feedback Role-Play

Effective feedback: ▪ Enhances learning. ▪ Connects to learning objectives. ▪ Asks students to evaluate first. ▪ Not embarrassing. ▪ Promotes growth mindset. ▪ Uses previous examples. ▪ Downplays direct instruction

Student - David

You are a student who just received a student sustainability

  • grant. You are excited because you want to make actual changes
  • n campus. Your project proposal included eliminating single-use

plastics on Harvard’s campus and your project is focused on replacing all single-use plastics on campus with reusable items. You are preparing to meet with your supervisor to discuss next steps.

Adviser - Kris

You are an adviser for a very motivated student. In fact, she emailed you yesterday with more details on her project

  • plan. Her project plan is to eliminate single-use plastics on Harvard’s campus. You know that this might be

complicated given the time constraints, resources, and bureaucracy in the Harvard ecosystem. There are just a lot

  • f moving pieces that the student needs to consider. She might need to narrow her scope. It is the first meeting

after the student submitted the project proposal. How will you start off a meeting that will last 30 minutes? How can you give feedback so that the student refines the proposal to fit within one semester, and lead to an actionable recommendation by the end of the project period?

Debrief Activity

1) In your breakout room, the facilitator will share the screen with the scenario. 2) Discuss: a) If you were the student, how would you have felt? b) If you were Kris, how would you have given feedback differently? 3) Prepare one reporter share 1-2 possible improvements.

Reflection

29

Tell us a specific example involving students in which you believed your program, project, or job was “successful,” whatever that may mean to you. Now, craft this story around student learning. Take a few minutes to reflect and type this

  • ut as a private message to David. We will

ask for shareouts only from those who are comfortable doing so.
