Improving the Effectiveness of Students in Groups With a Centralized Peer Evaluation System
研究了集中式电子同伴评价系统对本科生小组有效性的影响，发现使用该系统能提升学生感知的同伴有效性，对高等教育中技能评估有参考价值。
We describe the impact of a centralized electronic peer evaluation system on the group effectiveness of undergraduate business students over a pair of semesters. Using a quasi-experimental design, 389 undergraduate students evaluated, and were evaluated by, their peers using a web-based system that captures peer evaluations in quantitative and qualitative formats and allows for the reception of anonymous feedback. Results show that the effectiveness of students, as perceived by their peers, increased over semesters. This effect could be directly linked to the use of the system. The results of this study underscore the benefit of centralizing peer evaluations for the assessment of important skills and their development in higher education. The implication of these results and possible avenues of research are detailed.
