Peer assessment
Peer assessment, or self-assessment, is a process whereby students or their peers grade assignments or tests based on a teacher's benchmarks. The practice is employed to save teachers time and improve students' understanding of course materials as well as improve their metacognitive skills. Rubrics are often used in conjunction with self- and peer-assessment.
Student grade assignments can save teacher's time because an entire classroom can be graded together in the time that it would take a teacher to grade one paper. Moreover, rather than having a teacher rush through each paper, students are able to take their time to correct them. Students can spend more time on a paper because they only have to grade one and can therefore do a more thorough job.
Having students grade papers in class or assess their peers' oral presentations decreases the time taken for students to receive their feedback. Instead of them having to wait for feedback on their work, self- and peer-assessment allow assignments to be graded soon after completion. Students then do not have to wait until they have moved onto new material and the information is no longer fresh in their minds.
The faster turnaround time of feedback has been also shown to increase the likelihood of adoption by the feedback recipient. A controlled experiment conducted in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) setting found that students' final grades improved when feedback was delivered quickly, but not if delayed by 24 hours.
Teacher's evaluation role makes the students focus more on the grades not seeking feedback. Students can learn from grading the papers or assessing the oral presentations of others. Often, teachers do not go over test answers and give students the chance to learn what they did wrong. Self and peer assessment allow teachers to help students understand the mistakes that they have made. This will improve subsequent work and allow students time to digest information and may lead to better understanding. A study by Sadler and Good found that students who self-graded their tests did better on later tests. The students could see what they had done wrong and were able correct such errors in later assignments. After peer grading, students did not necessarily achieve higher results.
Peer feedback can also enhance learners' audience awareness, promote collaborative learning, and develop a sense of ownership of the text. Text analysis of the survey conducted by Fan, Yumei, and Jinfen Xu showed that these students provided content-focused and form-focused evaluative feedback to their peers, while their peers provided feedback on manuscripts or orals in class.
Turpin and Kristen M’s experiments found that peer feedback is very important for learners to participate in the learning process. Secondly, the quality of peer feedback is also crucial. Systematically trained feedback allows peers to provide high-quality, actionable feedback.
Through self- and peer-assessment students are able to see mistakes in their thinking and can correct any problems in future assignments. By grading assignments, students may learn how to complete assignments more accurately and how to improve their test results.
