Methodological approach

After completing their draft research outline in Worksheet 3.3, students will enter the refining stage. In this phase, students exchange their draft outlines with peers and provide constructive comments. The purpose is to help each student identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in their outline. Peer comments serve as a reflection tool, allowing students to see how their work is understood by others, while lecturer feedback provides additional academic guidance. This process mirrors the real practice of academic publishing, where manuscripts are refined through peer review before submission to journals.

In this stage, students are asked to:

1. Read a peer’s outline carefully and provide at least three comments: one on clarity, one on coherence, and one on alignment with the target journal.
2. Receive feedback from peers and reflect on which suggestions they will apply to improve their draft.
3. Revise their draft research outline based on both peer and lecturer comments, producing a refined version for further development.
