- Statistical Analyses of Effect Sizes
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...

Peer assessment, also known as peer feedback or peer evaluation, is a tool used in medical education for students to provide and receive constructive feedback. In undergraduate medical education, peer feedback is a method of assessment that is not used commonly; however, its use is on the rise.
Sep 23, 2022 · Peer review is the giving of an opinion. This is critical for students to understand—it can help create buy-in and smooth the process as students get ready to give and receive peer feedback. Students can provide this feedback one on one or in groups.
To implement an effective peer evaluation, students must fully understand expectations in advance. Set clear goals and expectations for the process. A detailed rubric or checklist is critical to ensure evaluations are respectful, constructive and helpful.
Peer assessment (PA) is employed as one fundamental practice of classroom-based assessment in terms of its learning-oriented and formative nature. The exercise of peer assessment has multiple and additional benefits for student learning.
Jul 10, 2024 · Identify and teach the skills needed for peer assessment. Encourage students to respond as a peer rather than as an instructor. Present peer review as an opportunity for students to receive extensive feedback on their work.
