The effects of peer coaching cycles on teacher use of a complex teaching skill and teachers' sense of efficacy

Understanding feedback: A learning theory perspective

“…In addition, teachers reported that they learned more from practicing instruction and giving feedback than from receiving feedback. Landry et al's (2009) andLicklider's (1995) findings align with Kretlow and Bartholomew's (2010) review study on coaching programs for teachers. They concluded that coaching in which feedback is incorporated leads to the improvement of teaching.…”

“…Twenty-one articles reasoned from social constructivism: Licklider (1995), Black and Wiliam (1998), Tillema and Smith (2000), MacDonald (2001), Manouchehri (2002), Mory (2003), Schelfhout, Dochy, and Janssens (2004), Gibbs and Simpson (2004), Yang and Liu (2004), Weaver (2006), Hattie and Timperley (2007), Brandt (2008), Segers, Gijbels, and Thurlings (2008), Landry, Anthony, Swank, andMonseque-Bailey (2009), Fund (2010), Gielen, Peeters, Dochy, Onghena, and Struyven (2010), Kretlow and Bartholomew (2010), Li, Liu, and Steckelberg (2010), Martens, de Brabander, Rozendaal, Boekaerts, and Van der Leeden (2010), Colasante (2011), and Van der Kleij, Eggen, Timmers, and Veldkamp (2012).…”

“…From all learning theories it is suggested that feedback receivers should have an opportunity to respond to feedback and engage in a dialogue with providers, and in addition, feedback should be given in a context of collaboration (Table 4; e.g., Auld et al, 2010;Brinko, 1993;Hyland, 2001;Landry et al, 2009;Licklider, 1995;Manouchehri, 2002;Nicol & McFarlane-Dick, 2006;Ochieng' Ong'ondo and Borg, 2011;Pokomy & Pickford, 2010).…”

“…From social constructivism, Licklider (1995) and Landry et al (2009) focused on teachers, Colasante (2011), Manouchehri (2002 and Brandt (2008) on student teachers, Yang and Liu (2004) on teachers and student teachers, and Kretlow and Bartholomew (2010) reviewed studies on coaching programs for teachers. Manouchehri (2002) concluded that feedback is part of peer coaching and professional development and Yang and Liu (2004), Brandt (2008), and Colasante (2011) investigated perceptions.…”

“…However, it was unclear what exactly happened during the mentoring sessions. Licklider (1995) investigated perceptions of peer feedback among eleven teachers and short term effects of the peer feedback on classroom instruction. Her findings showed positive short term effects in the classroom; however, it was unclear whether these effects are significant.…”
