ETAP623 : Peer Assessment This page last changed on Jan 23, 2008 by wikiadm1.
work.jpg ---  One very effective technique for providing opportunities for feedback is peer assessment. Students working together to be sure they have met the established criteria for learning gives the students opportunities to share in the learning by teaching each other. Teachers should provide many of these opportunities in their ongoing assessments being careful to put the emphasis on helping each other to learn. There is some controversy over the use of peer assessment but this only comes into play when the assessment by peers has a direct effect on grades. It is meant more as a tool to check if student understanding is clear and to provide opportunities for students to deepen their own understanding by trying to help classmates move forward in their understanding of the content. ACTIVITY: 1. Take a look at your performances of understanding and design a few assessments that incorporate peer assessment. REFLECTION: Look at your designs and reflect on the following questions: What are the characteristics of the times that you chose to use peer assessment? What do you hope the benefit of this type of assessment will be for the students being assessed and the peer who is assessing?
