What role does feedback from KOSSA assessments play in a student's development?

Feedback from KOSSA assessments is crucial in identifying strengths and areas for improvement that contribute to a student's future career readiness. This type of feedback goes beyond merely assigning a grade; it provides actionable insights that help students understand where they excel and where they may need to focus their efforts for growth.

Understanding specific strengths allows students to build confidence in their competencies and encourages them to pursue related career paths. Simultaneously, recognizing areas for improvement provides an opportunity for targeted learning and skill development. This ensures that students are better prepared for the workforce and can align their education with industry standards and expectations.

In contrast, focusing exclusively on grades does not offer insights into a student’s skills or readiness for a career. Comparing students with their peers does not foster personal growth as it does not address individual learning needs. Similarly, social networking opportunities, while valuable, do not directly contribute to skill assessment or career readiness in the same impactful way that constructive feedback from KOSSA assessments does.
