 * Developing a Coding Scheme for Analyzing Peer Feedback Messages **

Jan-Willem wondered how you can correctly define, label and interpret feedback and has worked on a coding scheme for analyzing feedback.
 * Korte Samenvatting **

Within his coding scheme, he has distinguished components such as Cognitive, Affective, Meta-cognitive, and Self-efficacy. The inclusion of components other than the Cognitive is informative and less logical than it sounds since most of peer feedback research concentrates on Cognitive aspects.

In his method sentences were split up into meaningful segments. These segments were coded with labels such as “Cognitive”, “Positive”, etc., and fell within the components.

He found that peer feedback can, generally, be reliably coded. The Interrater reliability varies from sufficient to high. So, he has developed a usable, reliable, and valid coding scheme for analyzing peer feedback.

This is usable for feedback and education researchers; I can imagine that such a coding scheme may evolve into a standard, which will be useful when you talk about feedback. When you look at it from a teachers’ perspective, the coding scheme is less relevant.
