Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 0 views

  • having them work in the same groups throughout the term. This allows them to become more comfortable with each other and leads to better peer feedback.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      There can be benefits and disadvantages to keeping students in the same group. Especially with younger students, they may want to "group shop" if they develop a disliking to one or more group members. If the groupings are short term, it's easier for students to understand they need to learn to work with all types of people.
  • Students feel ill equipped to undertake the assessment.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      If students have never experienced self- or peer assessment until college, they are "ill-equipped to undertake assessment" and do it well. The same teacher/instructor strategies apply. It's probably less likely it will be well-received.
  • for every subsequent essay I received number grades with no comments from a minimum of two peers and as many as four…
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Hattie calls this "corrective feedback". Like a checkmark or "OK" it has no value in improving student learning.

  • One example is outlined in Lu & Bol’s paper I quoted earlier, which is the phenomenon of social loafing or hide-in-the crowd behaviours associated with anonymity. Students that fell into this group were physically and cognitively lazy, not contributing to the process as required.

      An issue with MOOCs.
  • when the learning environment cannot provide the conditions as mentioned above
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Another issue with "MASSIVELY Open Online Courses".
  • MOOCs that are not for credit
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Lowered expectations? Less vested interest?
  • “The difference between self-assessment and giving the teacher what he or she wants was a recurring theme.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      The recurring theme results from college students' experiences. They are accustomed to course syllabi and a lack of instructor transparency.
  • careful self-assessment
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Attention to detail.
  • I have mixed feelings about peer evaluations, leaning towards not using peer reviews as part of the assessment strategy.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Having tried peer reviews in triad groups with a university class of non-traditional students, I can attest to the fact that scoring members of the group can devolve into personality clashes.
  • ‘Forcing’ the individual student to assess their own behaviour, as opposed to others is more constructive
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      It promotes successful life-long learning.

  • students and their peers are involved there are many more opportunities to share and receive feedback
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      This type of feedback is especially useful in improving project-based or performance tasks.

  • “Meaningfully” here means both consistently and accurately
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      If a rubric is well-designed, it shouldn't matter who scores a student's project/task. The task score should be consistent (inter-rater reliability), even in large-scale scoring (e.g., national AP exam scoring process).
  • Moreover, rubrics can help the student with self-assessment; what is most important here is not the final product the students produce, but the habits of mind practiced in the act of self-assessment.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      For a review of habits of mind, see Edwards & Costa, "Habits of Success" in ASCD's ED Leadership, Apr 2012 issue - "College, Careers, Citizenship".
  • Rubrics can be designed to measure either product or process or both
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      The big AHA!
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Rubrics are not just about writing.

  • students striving to achieve the descriptions at the higher end of the scale in effect guide their own learning.
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      Habit #6 - "Successful students strive for accuracy and precision". An especially important skill for STEM students (showing my bias here).
  • the fundamental focus of assessment is always to promote learning
    • Sally Rigeman
       
      AHA #2!

  • You can improve it by explaining why you think that will happen
