STUDENT-STUDENT FEEDBACK IN AN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

ABSTRACT:

This research, characterized as a qualitative research that adopts an ethnographic perspective, aims to investigate student-student feedback in discussion forums of an online extension university course. The study is based on the discussion about student-student interaction in online courses and different types of feedback. The results, achieved by means of three different tools - analysis of the forum messages, questionnaire and interview -, allowed us to categorize the types of student-student feedback according to their content, indicating the reasons that lead students to provide feedback to their peers and the students' perception on the feedback received.
