Practicing Peer Feedback: Data Set

This is the data set for the study "Practicing peer feedback: How task repetition and modeling affect amount and types of feedback over a series of peer reviews," which sought to enhance knowledge about how peer feedback changes with practice. The study had two aims: (1) to explore the influence of practice on the amount and types of feedback that students give in peer reviews and (2) to investigate whether providing peer reviewers with model feedback alongside practice enhances their development as peer reviewers. The researchers analyzed 3,761 comments provided by 80 students over the course of four peer reviews. A quantitative analysis of feedback quantity and a qualitative analysis of feedback content revealed changes over time; differences in the feedback of students who did and did not have access to model feedback; and differences in feedback from minimal, moderate, and heavy commenters. The data in this file includes quantitative data derived from word counts and thematic coding.
