Is peer assessment a learning process?
Together with an appropriate model such as MFRM, which adjusts for measurement errors, student assessment can provide reliable information for decision-making. For students, PA is a good practice for peer learning and provides opportunities to detect their strengths and weakness.

The specific methods of peer assessment can vary considerably, but there are a number of shared characteristics across most methods. Peers are defined as individuals at similar (i.e., within 1–2 grades) or identical education levels. Peer assessment must involve assessing or being assessed by peers, or both. Peer assessment requires the communicati...
To be included in this meta-analysis, studies had to meet several criteria. Firstly, a study needed to examine the effect of peer assessment. Secondly, the assessment could be delivered in any form (e.g., written, verbal, online), but needed to be distinguishable from peer-coaching/peer-tutoring. Thirdly, a study needed to compare the effect of pee...
The literature search was carried out on 8 June 2018 using PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and ERIC. Google Scholar was used to check for additional references as it does not allow for the exporting of entries. These three electronic databases were selected due to their relevance to educational instruction and practice. Results were not filtered based on...
A research assistant and the first author extracted data from the included papers. We took an iterative approach to the coding procedure whereby the coders refined the classification of each variable as they progressed through the included studies to ensure that the classifications best characterised the extant literature. Below, the coding strateg...
Effect Size Estimation and Heterogeneity
A random effects, multi-level meta-analysis was carried out using R version 3.4.3 (R Core Team 2017). The primary outcome was standardised mean difference between peer assessment and comparison (i.e., control) conditions. A common effect size metric, Hedge’s g, was calculated. A positive Hedge’s g value indicates comparatively higher values in the dependent variable in the peer assessment group (i.e., higher academic performance). Heterogeneity in the effect sizes was estimated using the I2 s...
Robust Variance Estimation
Often meta-analyses include multiple effect sizes from the same sample (e.g., the effect of peer assessment on two different measures of academic performance). Including these dependent effect sizes in a meta-analysis can be problematic, as this can potentially bias the results of the analysis in favour of studies that have more effect sizes. Recently, Robust Variance Estimation (RVE) was developed as a technique to address such concerns (Hedges et al. 2010). RVE allows for the modelling of d...

Sep 12, 2018 · The purpose of this article is to examine how these potential issues can be avoided and how peer assessment can be used as an effective learning strategy. Training and guiding students to give effective written peer feedback
Jun 27, 2022 · The exercise of peer assessment has multiple and additional benefits for student learning. However, research into the learning processes in peer assessment is scarce both in theory and in practice, making it difficult to evaluate and pinpoint its value as a tool in assessment as learning (AaL).
Dec 7, 2020 · As explained previously, peer assessment can help address these issues and is generally considered useful in encouraging students to act on feedback (Jonsson, Citation 2013), especially when integrated in a deeper conversation about assessment (Cartney, Citation 2010).

With peer assessment, students can receive feedback on multiple assignments in a timely manner from a variety of perspectives—free from the power dynamics inherent in a teacher-student relationship—adding a diversity of viewpoints to their learning.
Oct 1, 2023 · Due to these advantages, peer feedback has been increasingly used as an effective pedagogical tool, and notably it is frequently implemented in web-based formats to reduce teachers' workload and better promote student learning through scaffolds afford by the computerized environment (Double et al., 2020; Li et al., 2016, 2020; Sanchez et al., 20...
