FAA Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI)Assessment and CritiqueMedium
In a ground school class, an instructor has students take turns evaluating a classmate's oral presentation on airspace classifications, offering feedback while the instructor observes and intervenes only to correct factual errors. This method of critique is best classified as...
- AInstructor-led critique
- BSmall group/peer critique
- CWritten critique
- DSelf-critique
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Small group/peer critique
In small group or peer critique, students evaluate one another's performance under instructor supervision, which builds evaluative skills and engages the whole class, while the instructor steps in mainly to correct significant errors. This differs from self-critique, where the performer evaluates their own performance, and instructor-led critique, where the instructor does the evaluating.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Instructor-led critique is delivered primarily by the instructor, not classmates.
- C. Written critique refers to feedback given in written form, not peer discussion.
- D. Self-critique involves the performer evaluating their own performance, not classmates.
Small Group/Peer Critique
A critique method where students evaluate a classmate's performance under instructor supervision, developing evaluative skills in all participants.
- Engages the whole class actively
- Instructor intervenes to correct factual errors
- Builds students' ability to self-assess through practice on others
