Teacher-perceived supportive classroom climate protects against detrimental impact of reading disability risk on peer rejection
2012
Abstract This study examined the role of a supportive classroom climate, class size, and length of teaching experience as protective factors against children's peer rejection. A total of 376 children were assessed in kindergarten for risk for reading disabilities (RD) and rated by their teachers on socially withdrawn and disruptive behaviors. The grade 1 measures included sociometric peer assessment and teachers' self-ratings of their supportiveness in the classroom, together with information on class size and teaching experience. The results showed, first, that the studied social and learning risk factors positively predicted peer rejection in grade 1. Moreover, teacher-reported supportive…
Wiki as a collaborative writing tool in teacher education: Evaluation and suggestions for effective use
2014
The students did not collaborate much by revising each other's contributions to the wikis.The students did not use the discussion page to address critical reflections on collaboration.Factors influencing wiki-based collaborative writing in teacher education are discussed.Suggestions for effective use of wikis as collaborative writing tools are presented. Wiki technology provides new opportunities to foster collaborative writing in teacher education. To empirically evaluate the level of collaborative writing in a wiki-based environment, this article used three methods and their combination. The first method was the history function that records all students' actions, enabling to trace all ch…
A wiki task for first-year university students : the effect of scripting students' collaboration
2015
Abstract This study investigates the effect of a collaboration script - i.e. a set of instructions to improve collaboration between learning partners - for a wiki task. Participants were first-year university students in Educational Sciences ( N = 186) collaborating in groups of five during a three-week period to create a wiki on peer assessment in education. Two conditions were contrasted: a scripted and a non-scripted condition. The effect of scripting was measured in four ways (questionnaires, log-file analyses, group product scores, and individual pre–post-test scores). Results show significant positive effects of scripting with respect to the collaborative group processes and students…
La evaluación inter pares y el uso del vídeo como herramienta de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la didáctica de francés
2022
[EN] In this project, we intend to explore video as an evaluation tool with great potential in the foreign language classroom. The main objective is for the students, future teachers of French in secondary education, to use two different forms of evaluation to compare them with each other. Starting from the oral presentations of a didactic sequence for French, which are recorded on video, our students had to evaluate them using a rubric designed specifically for it. Subsequently, once the videos had been viewed, the class had to review their evaluations, and if necessary, modify them. In this qualitative study, we analyzed the different evaluations, as well as an online questionnaire that t…

Vertaisarvioinnin harjoitusohjelma ja vertaisarviointien toteutus Ketosen väitöskirjassa
2021
Tämä materiaali on suomenkielinen kuvaus vertaisarviointi-intervention toteutuksesta Ketosen (2021) väitöskirjassa. Toteutus sisältää vertaisarvioinnin harjoituksia ja varsinaisia vertaisarviointeja. Interventio kesti 1,5 vuotta ja se toteutettiin fysiikan ja kemian oppiaineissa luokka-asteilla 7-8 vuosien 2018-2019 aikana. Harjoitukset ja vertaisarvioinnit on materiaalissa kuvattu siinä järjestyksessä, jossa ne tutkimuksessa toteutettiin. Interventio suunniteltiin vertaisarvioinnin aiempaa tutkimustietoa peruskoulun kontekstiin soveltaen. Materiaali toimii esimerkkinä siitä, miten vertaisarviointia voi harjoitella ja toteuttaa peruskoulussa osana oppiaineen opiskelua. This material is a de…
A Revised Short Form of the Extended Class Play Among Italian Early Adolescents
2019
Among the measures assessing peer reputation, the Extended Class Play (ECP) is now used extensively in North American settings. Little information is available in other cultural contexts. Furthermore, practical considerations suggest developing a shorter form of the ECP to be used in socio-educational environments. This study examined the ECP dimensions of peer assessment in Italy as well as developed a shorter form of the measure. We revised the ECP using factor analyses according to an explorative-confirmatory approach. The original 37-item ECP was shortened to a 22-item version and, subsequently, the properties of the revised measure were evaluated. We performed two studies comprising, r…
Peer-assessment using test exams in a Sakai-based e-learning platform
2021
We report our work on the implementation of a learning innovation based on the combination of peer-assessment and formative learning. The methodology consists on the students themselves to propose, review and select questions for the subsequent creation of a "multiple choice" exam to assess their progress. This learning innovation is carried out with a minimum intervention from the lecturer by using testing tools from the Sakai-based e-learning platform of our institution in combination with several software functions that have been created to automate the aggregation and processing of the students’ contributions. According to the feedback collected from the students, these learning tasks h…
Percepción del alumnado sobre evaluación formativa y compartida: conectando dos universidades a través de la Blogosfera
2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in physical education students’ perception on an educational innovation based on formative and peer assessment through the blogosphere. The sample was made up of 253 students from two Spanish universities. Data was collected using a self-reported questionnaire and t tests were employed in order to find differences among students’ groups. Results show significant differences in almost all of the items on which the students were questioned. Basque students were more satisfied with the assessment tool used than the Valencian students. Students found the blogosphere more active, meaningful, functional and motivating and that it made for collabor…
Peer assessment based assignment to enhance interactions in online learning groups
2015
In this paper, we report on the findings from our PhD work on how peer assessment based assignment method can enhance interaction in online learning groups. The method is explored and tried out on the research methods course on the Bachelor of Commerce Programme which is run in distance learning mode at Makerere University. Based on the idea that learning groups can enhance effective learning in online learning environments, we used the affordance eLearning framework to design the peer assessment based assignment task and then qualitative methods collect and report on data. The results reveal that there was increased interaction through peer feedback. Students were motivated because of the …
