the skill of giving peer feedback requires instructor scaffolding and cultivation
Giving critical feedback that is personal, relevant, and challenging — both on a student level and instructor level — has a positive impact on learning outcomes.
Modeling effective feedback provides good examples for our students to observe and enhances their own peer feedback skills.
Helping students learn how to learn: That's what most educators strive for, and that's the goal of inquiry learning. That skill transfers to other academic subject areas and even to the workplace where employers have consistently said that they want creative, innovative and adaptive thinkers.
