Matching teacher feedback and student perceptions in a collaborative learning environment.

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

Teacher feedback is an important aspect of social learning. However, the match between teacher feedback and students’ perceptions of this teacher feedback is scarcely studied. This study aims to fulfill this need by answering the following research question: What is the relationship between the actual oral teacher feedback and the students’ perceptions of the actual oral teacher feedback during collaborative learning? Participants were 77 students and 2 teachers in Dutch university preparatory secondary history education participating in collaborative learning. Self-report questionnaires and transcripts of collaborative learning sequences were analysed. No match was found between actual teacher feedback quality and students’ perceptions of teacher feedback quality. Students’ characteristics partly influenced the students’ perceptions of teacher feedback quality.
