SETTING OBJECTIVES AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK

Research based focus on instruction with technology NOT instruction about technology. Information on this page is based on Marzano's Classroom Instruction that Works(2001), Pitler's Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works (2007), and the eMINTs Constructivist teaching and learning model.

Setting Objectives: Generalizations

	Setting instructional goals narrows what students focus on.
	Teachers should encourage students to personalize the learning goals the teacher has identified for them.
	Instructional goals should not be too specific.
	Feedback should be corrective in nature.
	Feedback should be timely.
	Feedback should be specific to a criterion.
	Students can effectively provide some of their own feedback.
