What is 360-Degree Feedback? And a 4-step Process?

360-degree feedback is when everyone around you, like your friends at school, gives you their thoughts on how you're doing.

Imagine you’re playing a game with your classmates. Usually, the teacher tells you if you did well or not. But in 360-degree feedback, everyone, your teacher, your friends, even the kids who sit next to you, gets to say what they think about how you play. That way, you get a full picture of how others see you.

How It Works in 4 Steps

  1. Everyone shares their thoughts: Like when you finish playing the game, all your classmates and teacher tell you if they thought you were helpful or if you need to practice more.
  2. You collect all the feedback: It’s like putting all those comments into a big bag, you have lots of different opinions in there.
  3. You look at what people said: You take out each comment and see which ones are similar, like seeing that most people think you’re fair when playing.
  4. You decide how to grow: Based on the comments, you pick one or two things you want to get better at, maybe learning to be more patient or quicker in games.
