It's very common in martial arts that you "learn" either by standing by yourself(could be kata) or with a partner doing techniques. Most of the feedback is from a teacher looking you, maybe all the time or just when he is passing.
It's so common that you see it in movies portraying the student/teacher relationship in a dojo. But you see it many places - the teacher showing and the students doing it, and getting evaluated by the teacher. The sole reference for learning. Some schools have different levels of of reference "a sempai" or just a higher grade. But it's still the same reference structure.
Its a structure that works, and ensures that what the teacher teaches is the main reference point. The back side of this is just the same. All reference are just the teacher.
Working with scenarios I've used group feedback as a part of learning; for all the students, no matter what role they played. And what I've seen that is the learning has been more thorough, making more sense for the students all the different aspects. A part of this success is to point out for the students the key areas that are to look for - even giving certain groups of students key areas to look at. It is there only focus, that one area. Making the feedback even more precise.
Taking this structure back to normal daily training and instead of having students train 2 and 2, I've let them work in groups of three, where the function of the third person is to "spot" different key areas. One at a time.
This has given a whole new team feeling, and enhanced the students understanding of the techniques taught. They have also become better at given structural feedback. They have gone from being coached to also being self coaching and ingraining their knowledge in their daily workouts.
So the next time you have to work in a group of 3 ( because the groups numbers isn't even), use it to get better at "spotting" and given feedback, and get better at self coaching!
