A peer-assessment system provides a structured learning process for students and allows them to write textual feedback on each other's assignments and projects. This helps instructors or teaching assistants perform a more comprehensive evaluation of students' work. However, the contribution of peer assessment to students' learning relies heavily…

Peer feedback benefits students' learning at the university level. However, how it makes an impact on students' learning and which defining factors in its design wield more significant influence are aspects that continue to require further analysis. This study is dedicated precisely to analyse how different feedback conditions impact students'…

This exploratory practice study examined the effectiveness of the feedback strategies currently in use at the Higher Institute of Applied Studies in the Humanities of Mahdia in relation to the practice of microteaching for Tunisian pre-service teachers. Qualitative and quantitative data from third-year students majoring in Education and Teaching…

This classroom study investigated the effectiveness of form-focused instruction and peer feedback training to improve grammatical accuracy and thereby maximize learning opportunities during peer interaction. Eighty-seven third-semester learners of German were assigned to a PI group (peer interaction only), an FFI group (peer interaction and…

This study compares two methods of teaching a dance technique class to determine which yields a greater increase in high school students' technical skills. The historic, widely accepted method of teaching a dance technique class is through direct, teacher-centered instruction. However, current research, largely on undergraduate college students,…

This paper outlines the feasibility of replacing a midterm assessment with a student-created digital media project. We examine the benefits of a peer review process for student-created pedagogy, the effectiveness of the student-generated digital media, and self-evaluations as a replacement for traditional forms of assessment. We conclude that this…

The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, to explore the effects of online peer-dynamic assessment (Peer-DA), rooted in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) notion, on boosting Iranian high school students' writing skills. Second, to disclose how online Peer-DA can lead to improving the participants' writing skills. Third, to disclose…

Writing is a fundamental skill linked closely with academic achievement, day-to-day communication, formal negotiations, and more. However, due to their lack of contextual experience, learning to write has been a demanding and complex cognitive process for most learners. As a result, learners struggle to exhibit positive learning behaviours and…

Nowadays one of the main focuses of the Spanish University system is achieving the active learning paradigm in the context of its integration into the European Higher Education Area. This goal is being addressed by means of the application of novel teaching mechanisms. Among a wide variety of learning approaches, the present work focuses on peer…

Online teaching of university courses to a large number of students is a major challenge in both its execution and evaluation. The proposed model for solving the logistical issues of these courses is based on using the Wiki tool in the Blackboard learning management system (LMS) to facilitate the submission and evaluation of student essays. The…

Peer feedback has been shown to be an effective strategy to improve academic achievement. However, little evidence is available about the effects of peer feedback on academic outcomes other than achievement, such as academic self-concept (ASC). ASC and achievement are reciprocally related and thus mutual reinforce themselves. The present study…

Contribution: This research presents a case study of an online peer assessment (PA) implementation in a random processes course. Students were required to submit simulation assignments, and then to evaluate their peers' submissions. The research explored the students' perception of the activity throughout the course using surveys, and their…

This study investigated the revision effectiveness of peer feedback in comparison with teacher feedback, before and after a peer feedback training intervention that was designed to be implementable in large teaching load contexts and with EFL students. Fifty-six EFL students across two different class sections received teacher or peer feedback…

Although studies on peer feedback have identified several advantages for second language writing classes, the benefits of peer feedback to low-proficiency students have not been thoroughly investigated. This current study aims to determine how low-proficiency second-language students of English can improve their writing by giving and receiving…

We contribute to the growing evidence of the positive effect of use of online peer feedback tools on students' teamwork skills development. We do so by exploring individual and contextual factors underlying satisfaction with using a peer feedback system alongside team projects. Employing path analytical framework and bootstrap methods, we analysed…
