[Registration] Designing Feedback for Student Uptake: The Role of Peer Review

HKTEA Design Thinking Community of Practice (CoP) invites tertiary education teachers to our upcoming event:

Designing feedback for student uptake: The role of peer review - An online seminar

People don’t usually like being told about their weaknesses. Feedback processes are more likely to be productive when students are pro-actively involved in activities which encourage them to analyze the nature of quality in their discipline. This presentation places emphasis on students seeking, generating and using feedback information of different forms. Typical feedback sources include a judicious combination of the self, peers, Generative AI and teachers with the self being arguably the most important source.

Peer review is at the heart of academia, so we should be inducting students into its processes. Key benefits arising from peer review are mainly threefold: applying criteria to work of different quality; the value of composing informed commentary; and making comparisons between own work and that of others. Examples of successful implementation of peer review in undergraduate education are discussed. Implications for student feedback literacy and related teacher feedback literacy are drawn. A series of practical action steps for peer review and broader feedback partnerships are shared.
