Characterization of Pre-service Teachers' Attitude to Feedback in a Wiki-environment Framework Yehuda Peled Member of the research network at The Mofet Institute, Israel Lecturer at the Environment and Science Education department - Ohalo College, Israel Head of the Information Studies Department - Western Galilee College, Israel ypeled@macam.ac.il Oded Bar-Shalom Lecturer at the Environment and Science Education department - Ohalo College, Israel oded8800@gmail.com Rakefet Sharon Head of the Environment and Science Education department - Ohalo College, Israel Eco-Entomology researcher at MIGAL-Northern Research & Development, Israel rakefets@ohalo.ac.il Abstract: This is a two-phase research process. The first phase explored (1) the significance of peer-feedback on students’ academic performance on a specific task in a wiki environment, (2) three types of peer-feedback, and (3) students’ constraints on offering meaningful feedback to their peers. The objective of phase two was to determine the reasons for peer-feedback refrain. Significant correlation exists between the willingness to give feedback, the willingness to receive feedback. Significant correlation also exists between the difficulty of giving feedback and the difficulty of receiving feedback. More female than male students tend to consider feedback to be the teacher's responsibility. Religious beliefs did not have any significant effect on any of the parameters tested. Results indicate that traditional students tend to be more conservative regarding feedback. There are distressing implications to pre-service teachers’ refrain from giving feedback. Introduction Wiki technology creates a learning environment that combines focus on the learner, the learning, and formative and summative evaluation (Bransford, et al. 1999). The information about utilizing wiki as an evaluation tool is in its early stages (Whitelock 2011). Wiki environments call for recurring feedback processes, in order to improve students' performances. Feedback can be given by both peers and the instructor. The wiki environment focuses on formative evaluation, as it offers the instructor an opportunity to investigate each student's contribution during the entire learning period (Schwartz, et al. 2004) Black & Wiliam recognize the central role feedback plays - 3579 -
