Peer-Assessment:
- Peer assessment is the process of having members of a group judge
the extent to which their fellow group members have exhibited specific
traits, behaviors or achievements to the group work (Kane & Lawler
1978).
- Peer-assessment involves students in the learning and evaluating
process during group work, allowing for students to be formatively and
summatively assessed.
- When peer-assessment is successful there is a cooperative
involvement of teachers and students.
- Peer assessment also acts as an instrument for teachers to gauge
whether or social loafing is occurring within a group project
- Peer-assessment works best under three conditions (Kane & Lawler
1978; McCormack 2008).
o Students are working together in a group setting
o Members are capable of accurately perceiving and
interpreting members contributions and behaviors
o A shared need to improve the effectiveness
Disadvantages:
- May result in the polarized effect- higher achieving students
underrating their performance and lower achieving students overrating
their own performance results in an unfair grade representation
- If peer assessments are being used for the summative assessment for
all group members students are more likely to overrate all members
contributions
- Unfair rewarding of friends or members of an in-group, students who
are friends are more likely to give higher scores to one another
contributions (social biases)
- Students may fear social alienation or bullying if they give a student a
poor assessment of their contributions
- Peer and self-assessment may be used to alleviate the teachers
workload and marking
- Students may overrate or underrate their personal performance on a
task being used summatively versus formatively
- Students who suffer from low academic confidence, but are
academically successful may underrate their understanding of a
concept or their contributions and receive a lower grade if used
summatively than deserved

Checklists
Reflections/Journals: These give students the opportunity to
reflect on how they felt the group project went, what they
learned, and assess their contributions
Interviews: having a meeting with students one-on-one
following a group project can act as an excellent way to gauge
how they felt the group project went and what they learned. This
may not be attainable with a whole class, but selecting students
who may struggle in reflections/journals, but are strong in
discussions.
Exit and enter slips: This allows for students to privately
assess their understanding and express where they may be
having difficulties. It also gives students the ability to take
ownership of their learning. All while informing the teacher of
where the students learning and understanding is at.
Hand-outs/Opinion Polls: On a particular concept allows
students to confidentially and honestly reflect on their own
understanding and learning of a course related concept and
teachers to assess how well learning occurred
