Question

Mrs. Green, special educator, and Mr. Silver, third grade teacher, co-taught a science lesson on the rain forest for his inclusive class. Mrs. Green was concerned about the technique Mr. Silver used to engage the students in the topic as the anticipatory set. Mrs. Green shared her concern with the third grade team leader and asked the leader to discuss the matter with Mr. Silver. What guideline for giving effective feedback does this violate?
A. Solicited rather than imposed feedback
B. Direct rather than indirect feedback
C. Well-timed feedback
D. Culturally sensitive feedback

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Direct rather than indirect feedback

Explanation:

In psychology, feedback is very important since it is a valuable tool to improve processes, behaviors, results in an environment. However, feedback has to meet certains rules in order for it to be effective.

The rule of "Giving direct rather than indirect feedback" refers to the fact that when someone observes someone else's behavior and wants to give some feedback about it, it is this person the one who has to do it instead of using other people to "give the message".

In this example, Mrs. Green and Mr. Silver co-taught a science lesson together and Mrs. Green was concerned about Mr. Silver technique. She was the one who observed this behavior and this technique so it was her duty to give Mr. Silver feedback (this would be direct feedback), however, she asked the third grade team leader to discuss the matter with Mr. Silver (indirect feedback). Therefore, the guideline that this violates is "Direct rather than indirect feedback"
