Dutch term

schrijfronde

Dutch to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
This term appears in a lesson plan that will be used in the English-language variant of a course taught at a HBO-level teacher training college in the Netherlands.
An excellent explanation of the term is provided (in Dutch) here: http://www.beroepdocent.nl/869/Onderwijsvernieuwing.html?BLO...
I believe I've tried looking for all the obvious possibilities, but I haven't had any luck. Something with "peer review groups" perhaps?
I'm looking for the British English equivalent.

Discussion

Barend van Zadelhoff Feb 11, 2010:
write around Phil's "write around" explains exactly the basic principle of what's going on (read his reference) in your reference
All that needs to be checked yet, perhaps, is whether "write around" can also be used in a higher education context

write around

I'd spell it as one word myself, but in most of the instances I've found, it's two.

"One idea that I’ve tried in a workshop for teachers, and liked, is called ‘Write Around’. It works as follows:

"Students work in groups of 3-5. They read text or have text read to them, or are assigned a topic by the teacher. Then they are given 1-2 minutes to respond in writing to the text/topic. (The amount of time given to respond will vary with each class or grade.) In their groups, students pass their responses to the right. They silently read what the other student wrote, then they have 1-2 minutes to respond to that student’s idea."
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Hopley : TBH, Id never heard of it before, but this is exactly the same thing. I'd be inclined to at least hyphenate it: write-around.

Thanks Barend
agree Tina Vonhof (X) : I would put it in quotation marks with a footnote, as it is not a well-known concept.

Yes, definitely. Thanks.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Phil. Your reference does, indeed, exactly match the definition I provided. This term doesn't yet seem to be in widespread use, but since the source is a published book from a respected education professional, it's good enough for me."

group peer evaluation

There's no hard and fast answer here. Peer review, peer evaluation, group peer evaluation, peer group work evaluation, peer group critique - are all used. In the art world, they call it a "crit" (short for criticism or critique) but this is rather informal.

round-robin review

"rondes" like these where students pass their work on to other groups for peer review for whatever the lesson type are considered "round-robin" exercises (or so we called them when I taugh Summerbridge; but I'm not an authority on whether this is used in the UK).

These can be writing excercises where students explore collaborative creative writing, they can be critiquing exercises as described in the "schrijfronde" , they can be discussion exercises, brainstorming exercises... anything. But the concept, at least as I am familiar with it in its most general sense in the Educational field is some type of a "round-robin exercise", where the primary emphasis is on each individual group taking turns at performing some task.

From reference 2 for example:
<blockquote>
The round-robin review technique is a process of desk-checking by multiple peers in a sequential manner. The initial checker makes his/her review, identifies and logs defects, then passes the folder to the next reviewer who performs the review adding and logging any additional defects. This continues until all the reviewers have participated and the folder is returned to the author. Round-robin review advantages and disadvantages are: it is more efficient than simple desk-checking, multiple reviewers are involved, roles can be assigned, typically a lower cost than other review techniques; however it is not as efficient as inspections.
</blockquote>

Thank you for your helpful contribution, Bryan.
