A totally new concept

During the LAC session on the use of teacher and learner feedback to enrich teaching
practice, I was introduced to the concept of utilizing learner feedback as a valuable tool
for improving my teaching. This idea was completely new to me, and it opened my eyes to
the immense potential for growth and development that can come from actively seeking
and incorporating feedback from my students.

A. A familiar concept but learned something new

While the concept of using teacher feedback was familiar to me, I gained a deeper
understanding of its significance during the LAC session. I realized that effective teaching
practices are not solely based on my own knowledge and experience but also on
continuously seeking input from my colleagues and incorporating their perspectives into
my teaching approach.

Lessons Learned

valuable insights into their learning experiences. This allowed me to make informed
instructional decisions and tailor my teaching to better meet their needs.

B. Challenging points (what difficult to learn or apply to learners and why)

One challenging aspect was learning how to navigate constructive criticism and using it as
an opportunity for growth. Initially, I found it difficult to detach myself from personal
feelings and view feedback as a means for professional improvement. However, through
the LAC session, I learned strategies for embracing feedback, reflecting on it objectively,
and implementing necessary changes in my teaching practice.

Next Course of Action

(what to do next to address challenges encountered)

Based on the LAC session, my next course of action is to actively implement and integrate
teacher and learner feedback into my daily teaching practice. I plan to create structured
opportunities for students to provide feedback, such as anonymous class discussions, and
ensure that their voices are heard and valued. Additionally, I will seek regular input from
my colleagues and actively engage in professional learning communities to exchange
feedback and ideas. By continuously incorporating feedback, I aim to refine and enhance
my teaching practice, ultimately improving the learning experience for my students.

Topic: UTILIZING LEARNER FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION

Insights or Realizations
Reading Materials
Reading helps with building a good self-image and playing well with others .Learning new
concepts, discovering exciting places and understanding others' .

A. A totally new concept

One of the key insights I gained while reflecting on the topic "Utilizing Learner Feedback
to Improve Instruction" is the importance of actively seeking and valuing learner
feedback. While it may seem obvious that feedback from learners is valuable, I realized
that it goes beyond just collecting feedback; it involves a systematic and intentional
approach to incorporate that feedback into instructional design and delivery.

B. A familiar concept but learned something new

Prior to this reflection, I was already aware of the significance of learner feedback.
However, I learned something new in terms of the specific strategies and techniques that
can be employed to effectively utilize learner feedback. It is not just about collecting
feedback, but about analyzing it, identifying patterns and themes, and then using that
information to make informed decisions and improvements in instructional practices.

Lessons Learned
(personal experiences of how the strategy) or not in his/her class)

A. Easy points (what was easy to learn or apply to learners and why)
One aspect that was relatively easy to learn and apply when it comes to utilizing learner
feedback is the importance of creating a safe and open environment for learners to
provide their feedback. By fostering a culture of trust and respect, learners are more likely
to share their thoughts and experiences, enabling instructors to gain valuable insights.
This can be achieved by encouraging open dialogue, emphasizing that feedback is valued,

and assuring learners that their input will be used to enhance their learning experience.

B. Challenging points (what difficult to learn or apply to learners and why)

On the other hand, one of the challenging aspects of utilizing learner feedback is
effectively analyzing and interpreting the feedback received. Feedback can vary in nature,
ranging from specific suggestions to general impressions. It can also come in different
formats, such as written comments, ratings, or verbal feedback. Interpreting this diverse
feedback and extracting meaningful insights can be a complex task, requiring careful
attention to detail and a systematic approach. Additionally, addressing conflicting
feedback or feedback that may not align with the instructor's initial intentions can be
particularly challenging.

Next Course of Action

(what to do next to address challenges encountered)

Based on the insights and lessons learned, the next course of action would involve
implementing a comprehensive feedback system that ensures effective utilization of
learner feedback. This may include the following steps:

1. Establishing clear feedback channels: Provide various avenues for learners to provide
feedback, such as online surveys, in-class discussions, or anonymous suggestion boxes.
This will encourage a wide range of learners to share their thoughts.

2. Systematic analysis of feedback: Develop a structured approach to analyze and

interpret the feedback received. Categorize the feedback into themes or topics, identify
common patterns, and prioritize areas for improvement based on the frequency and
significance of the feedback.

3. Incorporating feedback into instructional design: Utilize the analyzed feedback to

inform the design and delivery of future instruction. This may involve modifying lesson
plans, adjusting teaching strategies, or providing additional resources to address the
identified areas of improvement.

4. Communicating changes based on feedback: Keep learners informed about the changes
implemented because of their feedback. This helps establish transparency and
demonstrates the value placed on their input. It also encourages continued engagement
and active participation from learners.

5. Continuous improvement cycle: Implement a feedback loop, where learner feedback is

continuously sought and utilized to refine instructional practices. Regularly assess the

effectiveness of the changes made and make further adjustments as needed, ensuring an
ongoing process of improvement.

By following these steps, instructors can create a feedback-driven learning environment

that is responsive to the needs and preferences of the learners, leading to enhanced
instructional outcomes and an overall improved learning experience.
