Description
Summary:Feedback is described as valuable and significant comments, suggestions, or criticisms on a performance or tasks of a person or a student to better improve future performances or tasks. Everybody benefits from feedback. Every student in class hopes to better his/her performance and feedback matters a lot to them. Hence, students all over the world complain about not receiving the appropriate feedback. This thought prompted the researcher to inquire about the role of feedback in the learning process of students. Anchored on Thorndike’s principle of learning which espouses pleasant learning, the study supports the role of feedback in the learning process of students. The study hopes to intensify the role of feedback in the learning process and to remind educators that there is a strong need for students to receive timely and appropriate feedback for learning to be fluid. Using phenomenology, the study found out that positive, immediate, sincere, and kind feedback make students learn and get the needed competencies that help them succeed.
