All students and teachers are learning about the process of change and the role of change agents. During practical teaching and learning, students feedback is an effective tool to be used for the teachers reflection that can be used by Edmodo. The purpose of this study was to explore the students' instructional feedback toward the lecturer teaching performance. To gain the data, the researchers employed a qualitative case study design. The data collected in this study were in the forms of documentation, interview and questionnaire. The participants were 10 students from a private university in Ciamis. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive analysis of feedback, semi structured interview, and questionnaire. As a result, students provided different kinds of feedback to the lecturer. The findings revealed that the lecturer improved the teaching by trying to find a suitable teaching and learning strategy based on students' needs in many ways. It was concluded that students' instructional feedback could help the lecturer to improve teaching. This study suggests that the students and lecturers should be wise enough to apply feedback to identify and rectify their mistakes in teaching and learning process.

Summary

Introduction

Teachers or educators as the agents of change have an opportunity to implement their teaching practices to the best of their ability. Reflective teaching is beneficial for the growth of qualified teachers by enabling teachers to look at different viewpoints and ways to approach the classroom and children based on evaluation results [2]. Feedback can be given in several ways, for example, from the teacher, the other students, the parents and even each person [3]. Depending on the source, feedback influences students’ self-evaluation differently [4]–[6]. The researchers have an understanding that students’ feedback is an effective tool to be used as the teachers’ reflection because their classroom actions can be well documented and eventually control teachers’ future action. It gives the teachers more time to explore what they believed to be considered in detailed analysis [7]
