Fostering Peer Feedback by Adopting Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education

This collaborative activity involves students to engage in exchanging qualitative feedback on each other’s products or performances. However, issues have been established that negatively impact peer feedback processes, such as students’ provision of low quality feedback and difficulties with feedback uptake. In order to overcome these challenges, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be highly promising. Therefore, the aim of this PhD-project is to investigate the potential of AI in supporting students’ peer feedback processes in higher education. This is done by (1) identifying crucial teaching and learning conditions for the adoption of AI in peer feedback processes and (2) investigating the impact of AI assistance within these processes on students’ learning outcomes.

The project has started on 15 July 2024. It concerns an external PhD-trajectory involving a collaboration between the Wageningen University & Research and the HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht.

My supervisors are: dr. Omid Noroozi (WUR), prof. dr. ir. Johan Versendaal (HU/OU) & dr. Stan van Ginkel (HU).
