Which of the following is an example of guided practice with feedback?

• A. Quick quizzes
• B. Students complete a task with scaffolding and teacher feedback
• C. Independent practice with no guidance
• D. Demonstrate steps through modeling

Answer: (B)

Guided practice with feedback means students actively practice a new skill with the teacher providing support and timely feedback as they go. The teacher offers scaffolding—prompts, cues, checklists, or templates—and comments on performance right away, pointing out correct steps and guiding corrections. This immediate, targeted guidance helps students apply what they’ve just learned while misconceptions are still fresh, and the teacher can adjust support as students gain competence, gradually releasing responsibility.

This combination—practice plus ongoing feedback with scaffolding—is what makes it the best example. The other approaches miss one or more of these elements: modeling shows how to do it but isn’t student practice with feedback; independent practice with no guidance lacks the supportive feedback loop; quick quizzes can assess understanding but don’t inherently provide the sustained scaffolding and feedback during the practice itself.
