Question USE OF AIR SPOILERS

NOT A PILOT:

Was on board A320 during domestic flight, and something caught my attention.

During a 180 turn ( Looks like a steep turn) into final ILS Approach for landing, pilots had the spoilers (air brakes) deployed to about 30% of full scale up diflection.

1. Is this correct procedure for this type of aircraft.
2. Is this increase stall chances.

Thanks,
