A lot of time during the PTI Class One Course is spent developing your ability to coach. I am going to reflect on a one week part of the course called Defence Instructor Mentoring & Evaluation (DIME). As an All Arms Physical Training Instructor I spent a lot of time delivering training to large groups. This meant that actual time coaching was limited. DIME was the first time I noticed this massive difference between instructing and coaching. We were being taught how to evaluate a lesson and then give the instructor feedback on their performance. In essence it was coaching an instructor. The emphasis in DIME was on how you give that feedback. This was alien to me beforehand. In the military I am used to people telling me that things are wrong. What I am not used to is being told why it was wrong or how something, if done slightly differently, could be improved. DIME taught me how, through Mehrabian’s communication model (1977), to build rapport with the person I am coaching. I could then use the knowledge of various coaching models (Whitmore, 2003) (Gilbert and Whittleworth, 2009) (Passmore, 2009) and goal setting technique’s (Rouillard, 2003) to formulate my feedback. A constructive feedback model can be found at Appendix 3. …show more content…

Feedback is a significant element in determination of education quality as well as in effective learning where it portrays the learning outcomes for students and the successes for the tutors. There are many aspects that concern educationists with regards to feedback but the relationship between perspectives of learning as well as teaching and feedback stands as the most important among them.
