What role does feedback play in the FIRC's recommended instructional strategies?

Feedback plays a crucial role in the instructional strategies recommended by the FIRC, as it is essential for student growth and understanding. This aligns with the fundamental principles of effective teaching and learning, where constructive feedback helps students identify their strengths and areas that need improvement.

When instructors provide timely and specific feedback, it facilitates a deeper comprehension of the subject matter and encourages students to reflect on their performance. Such feedback allows learners to recognize what they are doing well and to understand the steps they need to take for progress, thereby enhancing their confidence and motivation. This process is particularly important in aviation training, where safety and proficiency are paramount. Effective feedback fosters a continuous learning environment where students feel supported and engaged in their own development, ultimately leading to more successful training outcomes.
