Students do not realize the essence of collaboration as a means of sharing knowledge and experience. They do not consider a lecturer an important party involved in collaboration
The applied methodology in courses was mainly focused on summative rather than formative assessment
Topic 2 Intervention Stage
The evaluation of effectiveness of interventions
Interview with the lecturers involved in the research to evaluate the efficiency of the conducted interventions
Focus group with the students to analyze students’ points of view regarding the efficiency of the conducted interventions
Students: - Become more internally motivated when the participation in “Critical Friend” is an optional activity; - Identify each other’s strong and weak points; - Become more open towards criticism and demonstrate willingness to give recommendations to one another; - Develop different metacognitive skills, - Perfect the knowledge of the topic; - Become aware of the importance of peer teaching for establishing trust-based relationships; - Take more responsibility for their own, as well as their fellow students’ development.
