[Research News] Interactional Dynamics of Self-Assessment and Advice in Peer Reflection on Microteaching

Peer reflection during microteaching is an essential component of teacher education. It provides diverse perspectives that help novice teachers develop self-awareness, refine instructional skills, and adapt to institutional practices.
A recent study by Associate Professor Mika Ishino from the Faculty of Global and Regional Studies and Associate Professor Eunseok Ro from Pusan National University examine how teachers respond to self-assessment and advice in dialogic feedback sessions. These findings offer valuable insights into the interactional dynamics of peer reflection and pave the way for designing advanced tasks that foster deeper pedagogical awareness and more effective teacher development.

Image caption: Analyzing the responses to peer reflection on microteaching is crucial to elucidate the interactional dynamics. A new study, involving pre-service teachers, explored the responses to self-assessment and advices in dialogic feedback sessions. The study portrays how peer reflection unfolds along a continuum, involving either procedural, relational, or epistemic orientation.
