Replication data for: Peer observation in pre-service English teacher education: Insights from an intervention in the Primary Education degree in Catalonia

This dataset is an outcome of the research project 2023 ARMIF 00005 “La mirada reflexiva en l'ensenyament de llengües: transformar les pràctiques docents a través de l'observació i la retroalimentació entre iguals en la formació inicial de mestres i professorat d'anglès” which investigated the benefits of peer observation and feedback in English language teacher education. The project was funded by the Catalan Research Agency AGAUR (2023-2024), and it revolved around a pedagogical intervention carried out in the English Language Teaching (ELT) Minor of the Primary Education degree and the M.A. programme for Secondary Education Teachers at three different Catalan universities. This intervention aimed at developing pre-service teachers' ELT skills and their feedback literacy through a peer observation cycle with the help of Teacher Input Observation Scheme (TIOS) (Kersten et al., 2018). The dataset comprises the participant perceptions questionnaire administered before and after the intervention as well as the pre-test and post-test data obtained from the closed questions in the English Language Teaching (ELT) Minor of the Primary Education degree. The questionnaire was validated by means of an exploratory factor analysis which yielded three factors explaining 60% of the variance. Factor 1 (Cronbach’s α = .897) includes twelve statements regarding the benefits of classroom observation for different dimensions of teaching practice, following Good et al. (2006) (five-point Likert type scales). Factor 2 (Cronbach’s α = .924) includes seven statements concerning the degree of comfort in participating in peer observation and feedback dynamics, based on Adshead, White and Stephenson (2006) (five-point Likert type scales). Factor 3 (Cronbach’s α = .770) includes five statements on the quality and usefulness of peer feedback, based on Huisman (2018) (five-point Likert scales).
