Description

Peer feedback (PF) is an important component of Team-Based Learning (TBL) that is often overlooked. It is the final practical element of TBL, in which students are expected to provide feedback to their teammates about their contributions to the success of the team. Such feedback provides information to help individual students improve team performance, as well as develop interpersonal and team skills that are essential for future success. It can provide students with a deeper understanding of how their actions not only impact their own learning experience, but their peers' learning experiences as well. While the literature supports the many advantages of PF in TBL, there aren't many resources focused on implementing a PF system in a manner that both develops the students' ability to provide quality feedback and tracks their continuous mastery of this skill.

The objectives of the proposed workshop include:

  1. Review the key components of a PF system in TBL.
  2. Present best practices for PF implementation for various educational settings.
  3. Promote participants to design a PF system that fits the needs and characteristics of their own institutions.
  4. Promote the development of partnerships among TBLC members for future collaboration on PF research.
