How to Seek Feedback Effectively
Posted 7 days 2 hours ago by Deakin University
Establish effective feedback channels to boost your professional development
Asking for feedback is an intimidating thing. But when given and received constructively, it can unblock barriers to your growth.
Discover how you can improve with feedback by joining Deakin University’s Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) as a participant in this two-week course and study.
By the course’s end, you’ll walk away with the confidence to seek feedback in a variety of settings, as well as the skills to make sense of and use it.
Learn to seek feedback with purpose
During this course, you’ll focus on how to seek the specific feedback you need effectively. You’ll gain strategies that help you confidently request feedback and establish reinforcing feedback loops.
You’ll also learn to identify the barriers that hinder seeking out feedback and acting on it. Knowing how to spot these barriers, you’ll be better positioned to utilise your feedback in a constructive and goal-reaching way.
Turn feedback into actionable growth
Whether you receive positive or negative feedback, you’ll understand how to regulate your emotions and approach feedback (both receiving and providing) with self-compassion.
You’ll then gain effective strategies to craft actionable plans after receiving feedback, ensuring your insights lead to meaningful improvements and long-term progress.
Support feedback literacy as an active research participant with Deakin
In completing this course, you’ll have the opportunity to join Deakin’s ongoing study to examine how learners can be equipped with the strategies and tools to make the most of feedback.
You’ll develop ‘feedback literacy’ that helps learners deal with diverse feedback encounters in their future study and work lives, regardless of whether these encounters are positive or negative.
