Second, nearly 70% of pre-service elementary teachers preferred the reserved feedback. It means that they would like to have a chance to modify their mistakes before instructor gives right/wrong answers immediately. Third, 72% of pre-service elementary teachers would prefer receiving the instructor`s feedback after the teaching practice rather than receiving the instructor`s feedback during the teaching practice.
