Hello to everyone! This is a short article that talks about peer assessment, an evaluation technique very interesting. This document emphasizes that peer and self assessment are key strategies to involve students in taking more responsibility for their own learning. While the benefits may not initially be obvious to students, this process offers a means of enhancing the learning experience and developing key capabilities in our students. The document also refers to the advantages and disadvantages of this type of assessment. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that it requires greater involvement by the teacher. Throughout the article, I'll take this vital phrase from my point of view: "Peer and self-assessment help students develop the ability to make judgements, a necessary skill for study and professional life" (Brown, Rust and Gibbs, 1994). Self and peer-assessment are often combined or considered together. They have many potential advantages in common. For instance, peer assessment can help self-assessment. By judging the work of others, students gain insight into their own performance.

Here you have a small article of 5 pages which I found very interesting to share with you. In this article we can find interesting issues about assessment for learning. The article says that: "Classroom assessment that involves students in the process and focuses on increasing learning can motivate rather than merely measure students." When students are active characters of their own education the outcomes are better. Also gives interesting clues about how to involve students in their own teaching-learning process and have a section about effective teacher feedback. Contains reviews of many important authors. I advise my classmates that take a look at this article because it's really interesting.
