The basis for the change to positive feedback with elaboration of the mid-cycle LH surge has long been unclear.
The instrument was designed to measure six factors: (1) self-guided preparation, (2) knowledge consolidation, (3) retrieval practice, (4) peer elaboration, (5) feedback, and (6) transfer of knowledge.
The non-scaffolding sub-category comprises many patterns of language functions of learners' peer feedback, including explanation, clarification, summarizing, elaboration, restatement, interpretation of certain aspects of written tasks, expressing intended meanings and others.
In addition the methodology facilitates the input and feedback of monitoring professionals by providing a detailed elaboration of monitoring needs.
Within the latter, interaction of an epistemic nature, the strategic uptake of concepts, the co-elaboration based on shared insights and constructive feedback appear as the most important aspects for a successful co-construction process.
The findings show that when speakers responded to addressees' feedback gesture rate remained constant when this feedback encouraged clarification, elaboration or correction.
Emergent themes were shared in subsequent interviews for feedback and further exploration, which allowed for an ongoing process of member checking and elaboration of the analysis.
Having more senior residents present for the focus groups may have led to further elaboration on the role of senior residents and faculty as supervisors and feedback providers.
Feedback from our cultural advisors who conducted the field testing indicated that, with the use of elaborations for potentially ambiguous terms, questionnaire items were understood by informants.
Because learning is fostered by feedback, students should get more benefit from collaborative exams when they interact with classmates as a "community of learners," promoting the "elaboration of knowledge structures" and fostering individual awareness of personal learning processes (Wood, 2009).
