Peer feedback in pharmacy education did not correlate with reflective thinking skills. Students perceived peer feedback as a tool for reflective practice, highlighting cognitive processes in giving and receiving feedback.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Health Professions Education
- Reflective Practice
Background:
- Reflective practice is crucial for pharmacy professionals in evolving healthcare.
- Developing reflective skills prepares students for dynamic health environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the pedagogical benefits of peer feedback for reflective practice in pharmacy students.
- To design, develop, and implement a peer feedback activity for pharmacy students.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods study involving 20 second-year doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students.
- A systematic peer feedback activity was implemented, followed by semi-structured interviews with five volunteers.
Main Results:
- No significant correlation was found between perceived peer feedback effectiveness and students' reflective thinking skills.
- Qualitative data revealed themes on the cognitive processes of giving and receiving feedback.
- Students viewed peer feedback as a tool to enhance reflective practice.
Conclusions:
- Important lessons were learned regarding the design and implementation of peer feedback activities.
- Despite a small sample size, insights into promoting reflective practice were gained.
