CONCLUSION - It should be note that most nurse educators genuinely welcome constructive student feedback, which is fundamental for enhancing educator effectiveness provided that both student and educator have a clear and mutually agreed understanding on its purpose, benefits and limitations. Timely, appropriate and well-informed feedback is essential for nurse educator to reflect on, and improve on their teaching to better meet contemporary learning needs. Positive feedback serves to provide encouragement, recognition and sense of achievement. For those who receive unfavorable feedback, whereas it might be of help in improving future teaching, such feedback needs to be seen in perspective in relation to the educator's experience of teaching and their level of familiarity with the given subject matter.
Administrators should not use student feedback as the primary or sole means of teacher performance appraisals but rather use feedback together with ongoing mechanisms such as peer supports to improve teaching effectiveness. Ultimately, well-managed feedback systems should lead to improved student learning, satisfaction and competent nursing graduates. For educators, empirical evidence of student learning and constructive feedback might give rest to sense of professional accomplishment and provide the impetus for further professional development.
