Teachers Feedback: Implications to Academic Performance and Behaviour of Grade 8 Students at North Fairview High

Abstract

Many students encountered feedback from their teachers but how does it affect their academic performance and behavior? To examine the various effects of feedback in the academic performance and behavior of the students, this study was conducted using questionnaires for gathering information about teacher feedback and its implications on the academic performance and behavior of students. The respondents of this study were the 10 grade 8 students with 5 females and 5 males in North Fairview High School. Feedback is an essential part of effective learning. It helps students understand the subject being studied and it gives them clear guidance on how to improve their learning. It also improves student confidence, self-awareness, and enthusiasm for learning assessment performance. The study used Descriptive method and Qualitative method design to gather information. Sampling, questionnaires, and observation were used in collecting data. The results of the study revealed that socioeconomic status (SES) and teachers giving feedback affect the student's overall academic performance and behavior. The High Average of giving feedback to the academic performance of the students is more on positive feedback rather than negative. It was found that both males and females experience the effects of feedback from their teachers, coping with the implications in their daily lives. Of the students, the teacher’s feedback affects the family relationship of the students as the feedback can be too much for the emotion of the students. Negative feedback leads the student to emotional breakdowns and bad behavior at home. However, positive feedback helps the student become joyful and have good behavior. This helps more in the bonding of the family. Likewise, in peer relationships, it leads the student to have a good or bad effect that they possess in communicating with others. Emotionally, the student's feelings depend on the feedback given by the teachers.
