Abstract

Peer feedback has been used for many years as one of many didactical tools to enhance student learning in higher education. University College Copenhagen (KP) is one of Denmark’s main providers of teacher education, social education, nursing and social work, and in most programmes peer feedback has been used. But it was not before 2019, when KP was officially formed by a merger between the former UCC and Metropol, that peer feedback became a part of the organizational strategy. In this merging process, the new institution formulated a strategy with the headline “Together for excellence in teaching”. This strategy was supported by multiple cross-curricular initiatives aimed at increasing interactions in teaching and learning between students (as well as between staff-members). One of these initiatives centered on implementing peer feedback practices in selected professional training programmes, first as a pilot project, aimed at subsequent implementation across the 20+ educational programmes at KP. The pilot project was planned and monitored by a working-group led by a dean and consisting of representatives for the 6 programmes involved in the pilot-testing. The pilot-testing was supported by a head of one of the programmes and a centrally employed special consultant. The pilot-testing ended by testing four different formats for student peer feedback, presented online here: peerfeedback.dk (in Danish). The formats are “dialogical peer feedback”, “structured peer feedback using Peergrade”, “online collaborative peer feedback”, and “process focused group peer feedback”.
In this poster we describe how this centrally-initiated action plays out in the bachelor´s degree programme in Biomedical Laboratory Science. We describe how the quality of teaching has been a main focus as a response to a large organizational change and how KP’s peer feedback strategy has changed the way faculty members share good teaching practices with each other.
The poster will outline a timeline for implementing the peer feedback strategy as well as map of all current peer feedback activities that takes place during the 7 semesters of the Biomedical Laboratory Science programme. Furthermore, will it describe how faculty development and professional development have been prioritized using the Biomedical Laboratory Science programme as an example.
The pilot-testing at Biomedical Laboratory Science involved students at first semester using the peer feedback format “process focused group peer feedback”. Faculty members have shared their experience with the working-group at KP and with other faculty members at the Biomedical Laboratory Science programme. Students involved in the pilot was interviewed and their experience with the peer feedback will also be described in the poster.
Results:
By having a formulated peer feedback strategy at KP more faculty members have started to share teaching practices with each other and learned from each other.
We have learned that the students need clear scaffolding to develop peer feedback competences. The student also raise awareness to the impact that peer feedback activities have on their social life at campus and state that it influences the relationship between students. This will be unfolded in the poster.
