Session Summary

Peer Assessment Effects on Student Learning Outcomes With a Focus on Higher Education

Sat, April 18, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The objective of this symposium is to review the latest knowledge about the effects of peer assessment on students learning outcomes. Although peer assessment is used throughout the different educational levels, the number of empirical studies is much higher in higher education where peer assessment has become an important instructional intervention and is common practice in many university classrooms. The symposium is compounded of four empirical reviews (two meta-analyses and two narrative), and one empirical line of research based on anonymity scaffolding. The effects of peer assessment are studied in these contributions exploring how it influences different learning outcomes (e.g. non-cognitive, performance, etc.). Important conclusions for the implementation of peer assessment at the university level will be presented.
