PEDAGOGICAL FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The modern system of higher professional education is aimed at creating and developing students’ needs for continuous professional and personal growth and development. Achieving this goal is impossible without the formed ability to request, receive, analyze and effectively use feedback as well as without the developed skills for mutual and self-assessment performance results. Within the framework of the socio-cultural approach to education an important aspect of the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching is interaction and mutual understanding between the teacher and the students regarding the feedback provided as summative and corrective evaluation of learning results and academic performance. The following article touches upon the problems which arise in the process of feedback implementation in educational activities and discusses practical approaches to improving the efficiency of corrective and summative feedback provided in the form of evaluation. The author emphasizes the significant role of the teacher’s pedagogical skills to provide students with timely and high-quality feedback to involve students in a reasoned discussion of emerging issues as well as to stimulate independent problem solving skills and search for new knowledge.
