Error Correction
What is dialogic error correction?
“Dialogic feedback is a way of providing feedback that involves a conversation between a teacher and student, rather than a one-way transmission of information. It’s a collaborative process that encourages students to be active participants in their learning and can help them make sense of information and improve their work”
How do you do dialogic error correction?
This is a 3-way system:
1) Tutor marks the mistakes using the error correction code and returns to the student.
2) Student makes correction in a different colour and returns to the tutor.
3) Tutor checks the corrections and returns to the student.
Reason: This way the student takes responsibility in correcting their own errors and learning from their mistakes.
