ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service music teachers’ perceptions of peer feedback practices conducted in designing a lesson plan. A total of 23 students who enrolled in the ‘Teaching Materials and Strategies in Music Education’ course participated in the study. Through questionnaires, pre-service music teachers’ perceptions of peer feedback practices were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: the students were strongly positive about peer feedback practices and reported peer feedback practices were particularly helpful in identifying educational experiences and determining objectives. However, the students were not much confident in giving feedback and worried that peer feedback practices might threaten their relationships with peers when pointing out the errors or making too many comments.
