Abstract:
This study provides an in-depth exploration of the impact of teacher feedback on student engagement, conducting a detailed analysis from three dimensions: emotional engagement, cognitive engagement, and behavioral engagement. The study indicates that teachers' positive and encouraging feedback can effectively enhance students' emotional engagement by boosting their self-confidence, fostering a sense of belonging, and increasing their interest in the classroom. Furthermore, teachers' instructional feedback plays a crucial role in students' cognitive engagement, promoting their concentration, deep thinking, and comprehension of knowledge. Meanwhile, the timeliness of teacher feedback is identified as a key factor in facilitating students' behavioral engagement, which helps increase the frequency of classroom engagement (such as speaking and group discussions) and promotes task completion. By comprehensively examining these aspects, the paper concludes that the quality of teachers' classroom feedback exerts a vital influence on students' overall engagement. Therefore, improving the quality of teacher feedback should be regarded as one of the important strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness and promote the comprehensive development of students.
