Valutazione tra pari all’università: due approcci didattici a confronto
2020
Nell’ambito della didattica universitaria occorre rinnovare e diversificare gli strumenti di valutazione includendo sempre più anche tecnologie progettate per la valutazione. Il presente contributo mira a contribuire alla riflessione sulle pratiche didattiche che risultano più efficaci per l’integrazione delle nuove tecnologie per la valutazione formativa e la valutazione tra pari in università. In particolare si vuole verificare se l’utilizzo di tali forme valutative tramite la piattaforma Peergrade sia più efficace in un approccio didattico basato sull’interazione face-to-face o su interazioni a distanza tra una lezione e la successiva. La ricerca, condotta su un campione di 203 studenti …
The development of secondary students’ feedback literacy: Peer assessment as an intervention
2020
A growing body of research has recognized the importance of students’ having active roles in feedback processes. Feedback literacy refers to students’ understandings of and participation in feedback processes, and research on students’ feedback literacy has so far focused on higher education; secondary schools have not received attention. This case study investigates secondary students’ feedback literacy and its development in the context of formative peer assessment. From various data sources, three categories of students’ feedback literacy were identified, and criteria for the levels of literacy in each category were created. The criteria were used in the coding of seventh- and eighth-gra…
Evaluation of treatment outcomes in a 3 years post-graduate orthodontic program using the peer assessment rating (par)
2014
Objectives: To maintain high treatment quality it is important to evaluate orthodontic treatment results using objective methods. Outcome assessments allow private practitioners and university students to evaluate their results and raise the level of treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the orthodontic treatment outcome in a post-graduate orthodontics program in the University of Valencia (Spain) and to determine whether the treatment outcome is related to several factors as gender, age at start of the treatment, treatment duration, treatment method, extraction-non extraction treatment and cooperation needed. Material and Methods: A sample of 50 patients treated in the po…
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 …
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…
Pathways Through Peer Assessment: Implementing Peer Assessment in a Lower Secondary Physics Classroom
2020
AbstractPeer assessment has been shown to advance learning, for example, by improving one’s work, but the variance of learning benefits within or between studies has not been explained. The purpose of this case study was to examine what kinds of pathways students have through peer assessment and to study which factors affect them when peer assessment is implemented in the early stage of physics studies in the context of conducting and reporting inquiry. Data sources used include field notes, audio recordings of lessons, student lab reports, written peer feedback, and student interviews. We examined peer assessment from the perspective of individual students and found 3 profiles of peer asse…
Peergrade nella classe capovolta: una piattaforma per favorire il dibattito valutativo e la raccolta di dati statistici sulla valutazione tra pari
2019
Nella “flipped classroom” gli studenti devono spesso studiare determinati argomenti e a redigere presentazioni e relazioni da portare in classe. La valutazione tra pari in tale scenario può svolgere un ruolo importante e migliorare l'efficacia generale dell'apprendimento. Uno strumento molto utile per questo tipo di attività è Peergrade, una piattaforma che integra vari strumenti: realizzazione e condivisione di rubriche di valutazione; sistema di comunicazione tra pari; strumento di assegnazione e consegna di compiti; sistema di valutazione formativa e sommativa. In tre corsi del secondo anno e terzo di Formazione Primaria, in tre diversi atenei (Palermo, Catania, Lumsa), è stato speriment…
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…
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…
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…
