Can Business Students Learn to Evaluate Better? Evidence From Repeated Exposure to a Peer-Evaluation System
研究发现，商科本科生在多个学期重复使用标准化同伴评价系统后，评价他人的信心和评价质量均显著提升，表明该方法能有效培养管理相关技能。
In this article we describe how the repeated experience of evaluating peers in undergraduate classes resulted in students becoming more confident and skilled in the task of evaluating others. We used a matched group quasi-experimental design, in which 182 students evaluated their learning group members in three different semesters, and a control group (three matched groups of 182 students each) evaluated their team members only once. Our results indicate that repeated use of a standardized peer-evaluation system provides an effective means of increasing students' confidence in evaluating their peers, as well as improving the quality of the evaluations they provide. These findings demonstrate the added value of incorporating standardized evaluations into business school group work as a means of generating skills relevant to managerial practice. Implications for research and practice as well as future research directions are provided.
