• In Event: TIL Practice Session: The Effects of Gamified Peer Feedback on Student Writing in High School English Language Arts

Short Description

National assessments reveal writing deficiencies among most public high schoolers. Multiple cycles of feedback and revisions are critical for writing improvement, but these are unfeasible due to record-high student-to-teacher ratios.

This study examined the impact of gamification on the quality of peer feedback and writing improvement among high schoolers
