At the GLOBIBO blog there is a long undated post by Kenji Nakamura about The Role of Feedback in Improving Public Speaking Training Skills.

 

There also is a recent 23-page pdf article by Tingting Liu and Vahid Aryadoust in Behavioral Sciences magazine on August 20, 2024 (Volume 14, Number 8) that is titled Orchestrating Teacher, Peer, and Self-Feedback to Enhance Learners’ Cognitive, Behavioral, and Emotional Engagement and Public Speaking Confidence.

 

Appendix A.1. has their Public Speaking Feedback Engagement Scale (PSFES) with 15 items. Each item is evaluated on a Likert scale from 1 to 5 where 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = not sure/neutral, 4 = agree, and 5 = strongly agree:

 

There are six items on Cognitive Engagement:

I pay attention to the feedback.

I understand the feedback.

I reflect on and evaluate the feedback.

I realize my strengths and weaknesses through the feedback.

I strategize to improve my speech based on the feedback.

I monitor myself against the feedback when I prepare my next speech.

 

There are another six items on Behavioral Engagement:

I take careful note of the feedback.

I discuss the feedback with my teachers and classmates after class.

I make revisions based on the feedback.

I mark the structure of my next speech based on the feedback.

I search relevant sources for evidence to support my point.

I practice my next speech based on the feedback.

 

Finally, there are three items on Emotional Engagement:

I enjoy receiving/providing feedback.

I find the feedback helpful and valuable.

I look forward to the feedback on my next speech.

 

And Appendix A.2. has the Feedback Sheet with 18 items

 

On May 10, 2010 I had blogged about Rubrics and figuring out where you are. 

 

In the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation Captain Picard says ‘Engage’ to start the warp drive, as shown in a brief YouTube video from Seasons 4 and 5.
