 Peer Feedback - What is it?

The Senior students in Learning Space 2 had the opportunity to showcase their scientific understandings on changes in matter, the observable properties of solids, liquids and gases, and reversible and irreversible change in states of matter.

Peer Feedback formed a key part of the presentation format, and this involved the process of one student giving feedback to another. The process further provided the students with opportunities to learn from each other.  

Peer feedback can be in the form of corrections, opinions, suggestions, or ideas to each other. 

Some student perspectives on Peer Feedback

I remember their feedback and do it next time. Prue (Grade 3)

I like good feedback because it makes me happy and makes me want to smile. It makes my day. Denis (Grade 4)

I use feedback by asking questions on what they thought about their piece, then telling people their good comments and finally telling them what they can improve on. Thivaashini (Grade 5)

I use my feedback to improve my next project or experiment. Diya (Grade 6)
