Passage: “The Power of Feedback”
Learning is rarely a simple process. In most subjects, improvement depends on receiving feedback and using it to make adjustments. Teachers, coaches, and even peers can provide observations that help identify strengths and weaknesses.
However, feedback is only useful when students are willing to reflect on it. Reflection means thinking carefully about what went well, what needs improvement, and how to make changes moving forward. Without this step, mistakes may be repeated instead of corrected.
Over time, students who actively use feedback tend to develop stronger skills and greater confidence. This growth is not immediate; it is gradual and requires persistence, patience, and effort.
B. Information that helps improve performance
