By the students, for the students: Harnessing the power of peer feedback
Peer feedback is an instructional strategy that involves students giving and receiving feedback to and from each other. A number of studies have shown that peer feedback improves students’ self-efficacy, academic achievement, learning autonomy, learning motivation and attitude. However, using peer feedback is frequently seen as something complicated, and it is, therefore, often avoided by teachers and students. In this blog, Priyanka Pereira and Marijke Veugen argue that by embedding peer feedback in formative assessment practice, you could minimise the potential problems and optimise the peer feedback process.
