IMPORTANCE OF
PERFORMANCE SKILLS
In all public institutions and organizations, performance skills are crucial and
significant in social engagement and leadership. The practical and intelligent
performance involves specific talents that increase with practice and
direction. For performance evaluation, feedback is crucial. Feedback is any
response regarding the interpretation or conduct of a student.
Communication can be oral, written, or gestural. In the evaluation and
learning process, the objective of feedback is to enhance a student’s
performance, not hinder it. Providing feedback must be either a positive or
neutral learning experience for the student. Negative feedback might inhibit
the effort and accomplishment of students. Instructors are responsible for
fostering student learning and providing feedback in a way that prevents
students from leaving the classroom feeling dejected.
To improve students’ performance, a teacher must offer the Service-learning
technique. The service-learning approach is “a teaching strategy, a learning
activity, and an educational philosophy that promotes active and engaged
learning by integrating experiential learning and student inquiry with
classroom learning through community service.”
In brief, service-learning is a curriculum-based teaching and learning
technique that allows students to apply academic theory to real-world
situations directly. The particulars of a service-learning project rely on the
institution’s mission, the academic discipline and program, the grade level
and course type, and the learning objectives.
Service-learning initiatives can be included in any academic program at any
level. Service-learning projects assist students in achieving the course’s
learning objectives. These projects might be transdisciplinary and span
multiple courses. A distinguishing feature of a service-learning project is that
it is a community-based component of a course for academic credit. Service-
learning has a long history and an extensive body of study. It is predicated
on the notion that experiencing and inquiry-based learning is more
successful than merely theoretical learning (that is, learning is enhanced by
putting theory into practice and direct inquiry). Implementing course material
as it is learned allows students to build a broader and more profound
comprehension of course material and higher-order thinking skills.
Since service-learning projects are community-based and carried out
in conjunction with community organizations, they involve various
stakeholders in the learning process. If designed and done
appropriately, they can contribute to a more rigorous and meaningful
learning experience.
Service-learning can enhance personal and social development,
including interpersonal communication and teamwork skills,
citizenship and civic engagement skills, self-efficacy, ethical action,
and social responsibility, all of which are essential for the continued
growth of democratic societies.
Other than service learning, the following are ten recommendations for
teachers to improve each student’s academic performance through one-on-
one private dialogues.
Be Positive
Before discussing the steps a teacher must take to develop an effective
strategy for connecting with students, I want to underline the importance of
having a positive attitude before beginning. You can be a disciplinarian as a
teacher when handling 20 or 30 pupils in a classroom, but you should not be
a disciplinarian in one-on-one discussions. Positive emphasis is essential.
Be Specific With Your Compliments
I have stated that it is necessary to give students three things they did well
in their work BEFORE being critical, but the praise should be as specific as
possible because kids can detect BS. When evaluating a fictional writing
project, you could complement the student’s creativity, dialogue, and
characters. THEN, you can discuss the defects. Numerous individuals have
told me they dislike writing since a teacher emphasizes their spelling and
punctuation errors. If the negative is highlighted, students may be dissuaded
from enhancing a vital ability.
Develop An Organized Strategy
Before the start of the school year, you should establish a plan for private
one-on-one talks with your pupils. This requires planning how much time
you will spend with them. I would propose a monthly 10-minute meeting
with each kid. Your classroom environment may dictate the meeting’s
logistics. To be considerate of students’ time, it is possible to hold private
meetings during class while the rest of the students work on an assignment.
Tell Students Your Plans
On the first day of class, inform pupils that you will be meeting with them
individually. Remember that many children are accustomed to meeting with
a teacher only when they have done something wrong. Put your idea in
writing on a sheet of paper distinct from the course material and classroom
rules (which students should help draft). In your strategy, emphasize that
your goal is to work with each kid individually to enhance their academic
skills. List the skills such as critical thinking, questioning ability, writing, and
speaking.
Tell Parents Your Plans
Providing administrators with your plans is likely required, but alerting your
pupils’ parents is also vital. Please encourage students to share the written
materials you distributed on the first day of class with their parents. Post
your plans on your class website and Facebook page, if you have one, and
devise a method to inform parents. It is essential to keep parents updated
about their children’s progress. Finally, highlight the fact that you are
meeting with EVERY student.
Be as discreet as possible.
Communicating with parents could help you avoid the issue of having one-
on-one meetings with pupils in class, where their classmates can overhear
the talk. Confidentiality is vital for productive meetings. Ask parents if after-
school sessions are permitted if you cannot meet with pupils alone in your
classroom or an adjacent room while monitoring the remaining
Treat each student equally in terms of time
Do not spend more time with sure students than others during formal one-
on-one meetings, and remind students that this is your decision. If you spend
more time with a select few students, they may quickly conclude that you
have favorites. Of course, you can continue to be available to students who
want your assistance outside of one-on-one sessions, but you must make it
crystal clear that you strongly encourage all of your students to seek this
type of assistance.
Advisingly, do not treat each student equally.
Other students do not respond well to scathing criticism. Throughout the
school year, you will learn which pupils require extra care. Consultation with
these students’ parents is an excellent way to learn how to provide guidance
and feedback to these students. Observe the pupils’ facial expressions while
conversing with them, so you know when to compliment them on increasing
their morale.
LISTEN Before Talking
Let your students talk before you do. This is especially crucial during the
initial meeting. Allow the kids to identify themselves. Before offering to
advise, you must have a thorough understanding of every pupil. Ask them
open-ended inquiries if they are unwilling to communicate. Take notes to
recall specifics about the kids. Make it evident in future sessions that you
remember specific student information. As mentioned in Simon & Garfunkel’s
song “The Sound of Silence,” “hearing without listening” is not good. If you
know and understand your students, they will feel more revered.
Establish high standards
In your initial meeting, emphasize that you have high expectations for EVERY
student. Students with average or below-average grades may have low
expectations since they have battled for years. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO BOOST THEIR CONFIDENCE BY ASSURING THEM THAT EVERY
STUDENT HAS SKILLS TO HELP THEM SUCCEED IN LIFE, EVEN IF THE
STUDENT IS UNAWARE OF THESE SKILLS OR THEY Inform pupils that you
will assist them in acquiring and enhancing these abilities. Make it clear that
you will maintain high standards throughout the school year.
Therefore, enhancing the performance capabilities of students is not all that
challenging. A pupil can accomplish this admirably by utilizing the
techniques and suggestions listed above.
