What should feedback focus on after a SAFMEDS practice session?

Feedback after a SAFMEDS practice session should encompass both strengths and areas for improvement to guide future practice. This balanced approach allows learners to recognize what they are doing well, which reinforces positive behaviors and boosts confidence. Additionally, addressing areas for improvement provides targeted guidance on how to enhance their skills and performance in subsequent sessions.

By focusing solely on strengths or only on areas for improvement, learners might not receive a comprehensive view of their performance. This may lead to missed opportunities for growth in specific skills while failing to recognize and build upon what they are already excelling at. Performance metrics alone would overlook the qualitative aspects of learning, such as understanding and application, while merely completing tasks does not contribute to deeper learning or skill mastery. Thus, a dual focus on strengths and areas for improvement creates a more effective learning environment.
