AB  - This study explores the postgraduate student’s perspectives on collaborative feedback. It is a part
of the larger research that explores the learning processes involved in a reflective collaborative environment.
13 postgraduate students participated in an action research project which took place for 3 month. Data were
collected using focus group interview and student’s and researcher’s reflections. The findings indicated that
collaborative feedback provided a non-threatening learning environment for postgraduate students to improve
their reflective writing skills and practices. However, despite the positive outcomes of collaborative feedback,
students reported difficulties in giving constructive criticism and asking critical questions to help their peers
to improve their reflections. Cultural influence such as respect the elderly was found to be one of the barriers
in giving constructive criticism.
