Practice in the field of learning and achievement Corrective feedback is a frequent practice in the field of learning and achievement. It typically involves a learner receiving either formal or informal feedback on their understanding or performance on various tasks by an agent such as teacher, employer or peer(s).[1] To successfully deliver corrective feedback, it needs to be nonevaluative, supportive, timely, and specific.[2] Examples of corrective feedback[edit] Various types of corrective feedback exist, each with its own appropriate uses.
Corrective feedback begins in early childhood with motherese, in which a parent or caregiver provides subtle corrections of a young child's spoken errors. Such feedback, known as a recast, often leads to the child repeating their utterance correctly (or with fewer errors) in imitation of the parent's model. Amount of corrective feedback[edit] Some debate exists as to the number of total corrections that teachers should make on a given piece of work.
