Do learners learn from corrective peer feedback? Insights from students

Understanding what students do with the feedback they receive is paramount in the influence of feedback on the learning experience. Likewise, while research recommends peer feedback in classroom settings, understanding what students do with corrective peer feedback is instrumental in studying the impact of peer feedback on students learning. This study explored this understudied aspect of peer feedback through mixed-method research. One hundred fifty participants administered with peer feedback were recruited from 5 universities. After collecting data through questionnaires and interviews, it was analyzed. Results indicate that while corrective peer feedback is overly perceived as effective, students perceive it as an unfair and improper assessment model. Other novel findings were used to make pedagogical conclusions on this topic.
