- Peer assessment is an educational process where students evaluate each other's work, providing feedback and scores based on established criteria. This method not only encourages active learning but also fosters collaboration and critical thinking among students, helping them to engage more deeply with the material and each other.

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 evaluation, peer assessment, or peer review is an assessment activity where students are asked to provide feedback on or potentially grade other students’ work in the course. Different tools are available to help facilitate qualitative written feedback and structured feedback […]
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 1, 2023 · Although the terms “peer feedback,” “peer review”, “peer assessment”, and “peer scaffolding” have been used interchangeably and have taken several forms and approaches, they all refer to evaluation processes in which learners try out the expert’s role and evaluate their peers.
Sep 12, 2018 · 7 min read. If used effectively, peer assessment – a formative assessment strategy that encourages students to comment on the work of their peers – can improve students’ understanding of success criteria, help them to become more engaged in learning and develop their interpersonal skills (Black et al., 2003; Topping, 2017), as well as ...
