Peer review is effective activity for students  that promotes collaboration, critical thinking and self-reflection. Peer review is also very important for professional development. Respect others and offer positive criticism and constructive feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is a very usefull tool for professional development as well as an activity for students. It requires responsibility and time from the reviewer as well as from the one reviewed.Criterias are also needed to be taken in mind to create an activity /lesson plan and to review. We need to give feedback, meaning suggestions and ideas to built upon.Finally we have to respect each others work and effort. If all this happens peer assessment can be very constructive both for teachers and students.

# data[].attributes.body
An extremely powerful tool indeed. Frequently and effectively used with students, very often it isn't as effective or well- accepted by peer-teachers, who tend to take criticism of some aspects of their work as something personal. It's a process that needs some training.

Very interesting tool! Peer Reviewing is a real helpful strategy. I'll use it with my students during lab activities.

Thanks!

I think they are useful tools. Peer review is important because sometimes you cannot be aware of the weak parts of your lesson but someone can objectively assess and evaluate it.

I think that these strategies are very helpful. I agree that peer rewiew of each other's lesson plans or peer observations in lessons can be useful fom of professional development. Unfotunatelly I haven't experience with these strategies. I'll try peer-rewiew as a student activity in my classroom. I'd like to have some tips to make peer-rewiew in the classroom more effective.

Peer reviewing is the usual way scientific production is assessed in the world. The major scientific magazines ("Science for example) refers to a network of voluntary researchers and university teachers all over the world, the so called "referees", that make anonymous reviews of the articles proposed at the magazine. This would ensure objectivity and impartiality (but not always...).

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is very helpful tool. We should teach our students how to do it.

I strongly agree with peer review as I see it very fruitful. I used it more than once it's a bit more difficult with beginners of Spanish but still they can get something out of it.

Peer review promotes the achievement of educational goals on the part of those involved and promotes also sensitivity to the other.

# data[].attributes.body
As long as it is constructive criticism then peer review is essential in helping each other with our learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the reflection over its own work, guided by the observations made by another person who is a “peer” is absolutely effective. In our work in classrooms we are ever worried about the little time we have to do a lot of work, because our programs are so encyclopedic; it’s important instead to reserve time to use peer review method to refine one’s work.

# data[].attributes.body
I regularly use peer review with my students.

I use peer review with my colleagues too

i think it is very important

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's important to help the students to a real confrontation. It is important to accept suggestions and criticisms. Although it does not propose many moments such as peer review, I have to recognize that it is very important. Peer review is certainly a technique to consider and propose.

The peer review is a constructive work. The benefits offered to the evaluator and the creator of the work. Each time, before presenting a task, I ask the opinion of colleagues. "Τwo minds better than one".

Peer review is essential. Peer review of each other's lesson plans, lessons and teaching practices is beneficial both for the observer and the observee. It allows for exchange of ideas and highlighting some aspects which are not necessarily noticed. I have positive expériences with peer review, although this is an area for development in our school. As a student activity, it has to be carefully managed. As a tip, i would say establish firmly the rules of peer reviwe in your class and give the students a clear assessment grid. Teach also how to give constructive feedback.

Peer review is so important for my professional development and i made it before on Europeanschoolnet's other courses. They provide me for making better plans, and see missings of my plan. Of course if there is a good and supportive review, it makes me happy. :D

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is really useful for both the reviewer and the reviewed because it can produce valid feedback and start a fruitful thinking process. It makes the teacher reflect on teaching aspects and strategies he hasn't considered. It provides a sort of "mirror", another perspective of considering lesson planning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that giving each other feedback is very important form for improving. The person who is giving review can look more precisely at the work, see what are the necessary elements, what can be improved, so he developed analyzing and evaluating skills which are very important. The person who is receiving feedback can see over his own work again, noticing places where he can improve and on that way learning according his pace which is first step in developing long life learning skills

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, peer review is very important, also among teachers. It is the way to improve your teaching style. However, it has to be done in an appropriate way. Firstly, it must not be insulting in any way. Secondly, it must be done objectively and give good strategy ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is a great resource for any activity. It is important to know if what I think and what I plan can be understand by the others. Like any other plan corrections are important to obtain a good result.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree peer review is important. Because I learn what works and what doesn't and learn other opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review can be used in the classroom and be effective. Educators should try to get the students used to , by making use of the strategy in order to be more trustworthy and not scary.

I have been using it in my secondary school classes by giving instructions on what to be focused on, to be respectful and helpful. It creates a sense of a collaboration and self-learning by reversing teacher-student hierarchy.

On the whole, peer review should be focused on clear instructions, if possibly based on a form of points to pay attention on and focus, in order to be effective

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that peer review beacause it is important to know an objective opinion about your work.It is an interactive method that can be used easily in clasa if you have resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that peer review of each other’s lesson plans or peer observations in lessons can be a useful form of professional development. Another teacher can provide feedback from his experience, give us ideas, identify problems that we may face in the application of a lesson plan and suggest solutions.

I have participated in peer reviewing activities before and I think the most important thing is that the feedback should be constructive. People are not looking for judgement, but for ideas and solutions.

Peer-review can be a great student activity. Getting meaningful feedback from fellow students can help them improve their work and reviewing someone else work can help them also reflect at their own work.

We can make peer-review more effective by providing some guidelines on how to review another student’s work. We may even give them a rubric they can use to evaluate the work or a list of phrases they can use.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you that peer review is a very useful method both for teachers and students. I'd like to thank you all for this great course...it has been the first for me in European Schoolnet Academy, but I think it cannot be the last one...I'd like to improve better my skills as a teacher!

Peer-review is an effective method for students to exchange ideas or reviews for classmates’ work. This method helps teacher increasing the feedback students receive from their work. Peer-review improve students’ creativity and imagination. Also, is a useful tool for professional development, because helps people get involved in the process of reviewing improve their work and self-confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that collaboration, sharing and peer review is a good strategy for students and workers of all ages. In my school we aim much of this type of activity and promote training courses that help students to move in this way.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer-review is very good for all of us and for children. It helps us to get better and to exchange thoughts and opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
peer feedback determines our work target-provides students with analytical and critical thinking

# data[].attributes.body
I think peer review is very important and children need the skill on how to give back feedback. I mean giving constructive feedback. Not just saying everything is bad or everything is great, without giving out the reasons why they think so. Also I believe that children have better influence on each other than teacher has on them.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are 11-12 years old. Sometimes they reviews the work of the other students. I think that peer reviews is very useful also for citizen skill, because students learn to accept the criticisms of the other.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm usually working with pupils are eight years old. Once a month I'm usually saying to my pupils to read their texts to their friends. They will correct their classmates and they will evaluate the coherence, the cohesion and the correctness.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer reviews is an excellent approach for constructive criticism! During our everyday activities we certainly  all of us couldn't make it without help so it is very important to have another opinion in case there's something we didn't notice in our practice. In the school lab the children are sitting in pairs so the feedback is almost instant when they are working or playing to learn more. The tips I promote are about making them to feel nice and confident helping their partner.

peer review Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
peer review meaning: 1. the process of someone reading, checking, and giving his or her opinion about something that has been written by another scientist or expert working in the same subject area, or a piece of work in which this is done: 2. to read, check, and give your opinion about something....

Peer review is a valuable tool in the classroom. It makes learners realise that they are writing for an audience and that this audience will read and evaluate their writing. I have used blogs as a means of peer review and encouraged learners to comment on each other's digital resources which have been posted in the class blog. Peer review also helps learners accept each other's opinions and practice netiquette since they will learn to provide feedback in a responsible and respectful manner. I think peer review is also a very important aspect in professional development initiatives. Unfortunately there may be issues with time constraints when carrying out peer observation of lessons. However I think it would be a very important tool since feedback would be more personalised especially if you already have a good working relationship with your reviewer. It would provide a safe ground to try out new unfamiliar teaching strategies and would offer constructive feedback and perspectives to continue enhancing teaching and learning opportunities in your classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Like any other peer activity, peer review is one of the most effective means to have a response, because you assess and are assessed in a context where both parts are given the same task and share more or less the same experiences. I noticed that students learn more effectively when the content is delivered by a peer, so this coul d be the same with reviewing a peer's work. For example in the FB group o this course this process has been working since the course started. I have had constructive advice and response when i asked for opinions about my work.

In my class I am used to using rubrics and sometimes I make my students assess their mates's works. Thsi is generally something they like doing, and it is part of the learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer-reviewing is a great opportunity to learn and to teach.

It's great, if we know exactly what we are looking for. If we use a rubric (or something similar) and the reviewer points out ideas related to the rubric.

Besides, the reviewer should carefully choose his/her words in order not to hurt the feelings of the person who has spent time and effort on the activity.

In my opinion, peer review implies a way of expressing ideas and listening to the peer's comments that are far from the Spanish "latino" character and the Spanish teaching tradition (even today, it's not common to share your lessons with colleagues or to have visitors in your classroom. I've been teaching for 20 years and I barely had any)

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review isa great learning tool for both students and teachers. We should teach our students how to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
A very interesting and effective activity for both teachers and students. Students must certainly be guided to learn how to do it but peer review can help them gain self awareness while develop critical skills.

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher I am used to peer reviews, especially in online courses. For students it can be difficult but we need to teach them how to do it.

I experienced peer review for the first time in this period both for me and my student. It's really a useful tool to improve performances. I gave my students some suggestions to help them to find the most common mistakes and it worked!!!!

I agree that peer review can be a useful form of professional development. I've little experience with this strategies.

I tried it sometimes with my student and I always see the benefits of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that peer-review can further professional development and that students gain insights and improve their work when they review each other s work. I tried it several times with my students and I always see the benefit of it. Above someone said that you'll benefit from the other's "depth and regard". Perhaps not all peers will have the depth one expects but the communication itself is usually enriching. When my students do peer-review, I also ask them to give a mark out of ten. Interestingly, they always give their peers more marks than I had intended! I also ask them to write their own comments. They find this part difficult so I help them out with this task.

# data[].attributes.body
I often use the peer review in my classes- I think is part of evaluation, very important and necessary. I use rubrics for oral presentations and writing projects with my pupils. They like to do this and I think they do it very well.

I never tried peer review between colleagues. It´s not a real practice in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is a very very useful form to develop a lot of skills by the students: analysis, communication , generate new ideas, to show their learning, to defend their work. And they learn t work together, working teams.

# data[].attributes.body
as a support teacher, in one way I often practice peer review, since my projects are always shared and "approved" by my colleagues. From a professional point of view I think reviewing someone's alse activities develops our sense of criticism and gives us new inspiration. I rarely use it as an activity for my students, but I think I'll use it in the future since it improves their social abilities, both in terms of accepting others' opinions and respecting them.

# data[].attributes.body
It is not always easy to give and receive feedback from our work but it is very useful and essential for us to move forward. In my classes (art, design, geometry) I try to implement some kind of exchange of ideas and make sure that the work of each is in some way observed and analyzed by colleagues. I think I should do it more often ... this video of the students was very inspiring to me as a teacher :).

# data[].attributes.body
I have some experience regarding peer review and I believe in its power to enhance the learning process. I introduced it as a student activity last year and it worked well. To make it even more effective, peer review has to be done with students at the same level. In my classes in proved ineffective when a struggling student had to review the work of his/her more advances classmate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think peer review is a good strategy to reflect on one's work, to know what's wrog or write with one's work. Sharing idea and different points of views can enrich our professional work. I have never had such peer review mentioned on this video, except for the training sessions included in the course for being high school teachers in Italy, where I observed my tutor and my tutor observed me during the lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that peer review is very important in the learning process, it is useful for students and for teachers too, because observing and listening to a peer review discussion, they can learn a lot about their students learning strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
I think peer review is a very effective way to collaborate and improve learning. I use it with my little students when they write texts and then check each other works in pairs or in a small group.

# data[].attributes.body
i think peer review is an effective way of getting feedback that is useful for personal Development. Often a lecturer in a course has a different role to your own thus would be looking at your work from a different perspective. However your peer on a project would be looking to achieve similar targets thus would be able to understand better and give more useful tips to improve your work. To train children to give feedback and make good use of feedback from their peers would be opening a door to faster and more successful long life learning without limiting learning to time spent in class during lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review or peer observations in lessons is a useful form of professional development and we use it in our work. Children give feed back to each other about their writing and on their homeworks. It is important how to give an information to to do something better and develop the ideas, thoughts, work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's a good strategy to see what others think of my work and reflect on their own mistakes.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not used to it, but I'll try!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with all strategies and i think they are very helpull to each other.

I know that in today classes this isn't used... but if you tried we will get better works and students more motivated to get better.

In my classes i ask students to give feedback to the other works - sometimes written, because some students don´t understand other's opinions...

# data[].attributes.body
I think these are very good strategies and I agree with peer -review can be useful form of professional development. Peer-review isn't an easy task and it sounds a bit scary but It helps us to become better in our work. I believe two heads can do more and get better results than one. Let's be constructive,collaborative, positive and keep learning. In my Kindergarten class pupils usually give feedback to each others' work when they have finished the activity.

I really think peer review is an useful form for profesional development. We can find other opinions and we can improve our work .

I haven' used by now peer review with my students , but I'' ll do it soon !

I have attended many Moocs and I have been assessed by peers and I have assess my peers.

Peer assessment is both very difficult as you have to be accurate and responsible as you evaluate the work of others, but it is very productive for you as you get a clear independent image of your impact to others. I mean you can see where are you good at, where you need to be improved and what the culprits are, in order to improve yourself.

I really like peer assessment as long as it is anonymous thus more objective and true.

In my classroom I use the peer assessment method between my students. It is extremely interesting how strict they are with theirs classroom mates.

In order to achieve anonymity I forbid them to write their names on their sheet of paper, I give each paper a code number that only me knows it and then enclose them to envelopes and pass them to my students. As an evaluation rule I provide the solutions or the points they have to pay attention at.

# data[].attributes.body
As a student in different MOOC course I've been participated in manu peer reviews. I think they are very useful for me - at least I learn from them 1) new practices and points of view on the topic; 2) train how to provide positive feedback.

I use the peer review also with my student and find it is very useful for development of the critical thinking and team work.

With lower graders (12-13 years old student) I usualy ranking as s tool - the student vote by ranks (in Moodle, Toutube, etc.) and provide at least one positive reflection and at least one suggestion to the others' project.

With higher secondary school students I use more advanced tools - usually Google forms where I draw evaluation rubrics and criteria and ask student for each rubric to provide score and argumentation for it to the other students' / teams work.

As a summary I provide them the summary charts and argumentation bu the whale goup.

To provede a elyibility to the students score, I assess their grading - in the arguments are focused on the criteria, if they provide enough information and explanation of the score, the way the feedback is provided, etc.

For me this is one ot the most powerful ways for evaluation!

I think it´s a rewarding experience , I agree with peer review. I have experience with my pupils they sometimes review the works of themselves for example when I have gave them jobs about food, about techniccs or something about my subject, they learn with the peer review.

Peer reviewing is a strong power to empower students's skills as it is based on collaborative work. My students are used to work on eTwinning projects so by wikis or forums,they comment and share ideas

# data[].attributes.body
I think that peer review is essential because when you have a project it is difficult to point out what could be arranged. Others can evaluate and comment on positive aspects and on points that can be arranged. During my course I had the possibility to write in a wiki. In this wiki we commented on each other posts. I was always looking forward to read their feedback. When introducing peer review to our students we must teach them that feedback is essential and it can help us through our development. It is important that we don t comment negatively but we point out things that can be improved.

# data[].attributes.body
I have good experience with the peer review. We work in an Erasmus + project and share good practices in class. Each partner upload 4 good practices and next each school should to create review for 4 practices.
I'm teacher in Bulgarian language and literature. My students correct themes and exercises of their classmates in pair often.
I was participate in few courses in European Schoolnet Academy and in eTwinning Learning Labs. Almost in every course participants created reviews for two lessons and receive two other recipes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that peer review is useful because in a certain way it may enrich ideas. But most important, it may improve the job in planning better the academic strategy. It is also important that peers must be of the same subject, that is: if I am Maths teacher, my peer must also be a Maths teacher. I think also that one tip to make peer-review more effective is that both, in a previous agreement, looks for the same goal of the activity proposed.

Peer review implies collaboration and being positive and constructive. I'm used to letting my 4th graders read their answers for an assessment task within the class and ask the whole group to pickk up all the right issues and give advice about the wrong ones. It seems to work and the pupils don't feel to be judged or criticized. Then we put all the good answers (or the right issues) in a collective mind map, as a result of a collaborative work

about peer reviewing.. I like very much this idea I think it could be very 'usefull' to use this since primary school but this is not easy. there is an emotional implication in peeer reviewing, to accept others opinions is an high competence, I I think... I work with children seven yers old.. can anybody suggest me how to begin a simple activity of p. r. in class?

I'm a Biology teacher and many tasks of my students are about knowledge and easy to grade, because it is either a good answer or not. For the "skills" I often use a Rubric, but with cooperative activities it is hard to determine who did what and how to grade it. In these cases I give the students a total amount of grades together and the students can divide them amongst each other. This results in a very nice and good motivated peer review.

# data[].attributes.body
Also I think per review is a good but havy method. the students do not want to speak. styl and evaluation stages are important.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is a useful strategy that applies to all levels of the process of teaching / learning. Among teachers it is important to the comparison and collaboration for the preparation of work plans, as the experience and expertise of one are made available to the group to get the best possible result. The same thing happens among students. This strategy put into effect with the students because I think it enhances learning, self-esteem of the students (what I do not know I know you, your idea gives me ideas for further thought ....) and also the relationships between students.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that I have more idea about Peer review often will use it with their students

# data[].attributes.body
I used peer reviewing in European schoolnet couse called Tablet on school butI never used with my students.

Iwill use it this year because I think it is very important to collaborate to discuss together, each others' work. They usually use inquiry learning space in Go Lab for their creative writing tasks and work in pairs. I think this metodology is very motivating formy students.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer review is very useful for the students and I sometimes use it in my classes

I agree with peer review of course, and it is not a waste fo time or only teachers' task, However, in my school nearly anyone has aver been encouraged to try this kind of activity, I think that it will take some time probably before it will be accepted. It is a question of cultural attitude that has to change. I do hope it will occur soon

Peer review is very important to give feedback and to understand better the content.

I believe that peer review is constructive and meaningful way of getting feedback og work you have done. You get an audience that gives constructive feedback, a variety of feedback depending on the person reviewing your work and also a feedback from others than the teacher.

I believe that peer assessment help students to understand the material better. It saves teachers' time so he can use the time for questions of the students.

Definitely I agree that peer review of each other's lesson plans or peer observations in lessons can be a useful form of professional development. I have the experience of former peer reviewing process on previous courses and it was a great experience!
I use cooperative learning in creative writing and as part of the work we make peer review: everyone knows what we have to do in order to respect the genre we write and everyone is able to check whether the main points-rules we learnt are respected.

I think that possibility to share experience and to receive evaluation from other is absolutely wonderful thing. I've observed the lessons of colleagues and they 've been on my lessons too.

I teach German as foreign language. I use this strategy with my older pupils (13 yrs) to review written production. They have to check their classmate's work in pairs. Having to explain what is wrong (also linguistically) helps them to reflect on language mechanisms. And reading other people's ideas and thoughts give them new insights on the argument or the way they can present it. When they expose it orally they produce deeper texts, more personal and correct.

I never used this strategy in my disclipline. Questa stratey is difficult to implement with my students because they have a lot of problem of relation. IMHO this strategy is lot expensive of time and my curriculums educational have many many arguments and goals to do.
