Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
from Classroom
Instruction that Works Robert J. Marzano,
Debra, J . Pickering, Jane E. Pollock, MCREL,
2001.
Summary of
Research on
Setting Objectives
- Instructional goals/objectives narrow what students focus
on.
- Instructional
goals/objectives should not be too specific.
- Students should be encouraged to personalize the teacher's
goals.
Classroom Practice in Setting
Objectives
- Goals should be
general enough to provide students some
flexibility.
- Contracts with students provide them with a
great deal of control over their
learning.
Summary
of Research on
Providing
Feedback
- Feedback should be "corrective" in nature by
explanining to students what they are doing correctly and
incorrectly.
- Feedback should be specific to a
criterion.
- Feedback should be timely.
- Students can effectively provide some of
their own
feedback.
Classroom Practice in Providing
Feedback
- Criterion-reference feedback is superior to
norm-referenced feedback.
- Focus feedback on specific types of knowledge and
skill.
- Student-led feedback has many desirable
effects.
