Peer Feedback One Year On: What it is, Why It Works and How to Use It
Wednesday 27th November 2024, 2:00pm
This session reworks a workshop that Josh and I delivered in the autumn of 2023. However, this year we have the benefit of an extra year of research into the process, and a more comprehensive set of results as the result of a CHEP Enhancement Funding award.
Peer review is an efficient and highly effective pedagogic mode for teaching writing in an HE context. It produces multiple positive outcomes for students, including improved engagement with formal feedback, the use of high-level cognitive skills, increased levels of independent learning, as well as enhanced writing and editing skills.
This session, run by Dr Alison Daniell, the University’s Post-entry Academic Skills Officer and Dr Josh Robertson from FEPS, will discuss a pilot peer review project run during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years with Engineering Foundation Year students - and which benefitted from a CHEP Enhancement Fund award.
It will explain the approaches taken, discuss the results and share teaching resources that were developed for the project. There will be an interactive element to the presentation where we demonstrate how our model works, as well as the opportunity to ask questions.
Before the workshop, please think about an aspect of your module's formative assessment that you would like your students to practise using peer feedback.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand what is meant by the term 'peer feedback' and its benefits for students and staff alike.
2. Recognise what constitutes high-quality peer feedback and how to teach this to students.
3. Discover how Blackboard can be used to run peer-review feedback sessions digitally and anonymously.
4. Create a sample rubric that addresses an aspect of written work their students find difficult.
5. Know where to go to find further resources, support and information
