Digital video-based peer feedback training: The effect of expert feedback on pre-service teachers' peer feedback beliefs and peer feedback quality

We investigate the effects of peer feedback training (enhanced by expert feedback) on pre-service teachers' feedback quality and beliefs. Intervention group 1 (IG1) analysed classroom videos before the feedback training, while intervention group 2 (IG2) additionally received expert feedback on their video analyses. IG1 and IG2 were compared to a control group (CG). Results show pre-service teachers in IG1 and IG2 improved their peer feedback quality and beliefs in comparison to the CG. Expert feedback (IG2) lead to greater increases of peer feedback quality than without (IG1). This study highlights the role of expert feedback when training peer feedback.
