Higher Education Students' Perceptions of and Attitudes towards Peer Assessment in Multicultural Classrooms
Alt, Dorit; Raichel, Nirit
Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, v29 n6 p567-580 Dec 2020
Due to the scant work done thus far, the present mixed-methods study assessed Education students' perceptions of and attitudes towards peer assessment (PA) and their effect on the perceived "Transfer" of PA practices to their future classes. 120 undergraduate multicultural students have participated in the study. The students were given two group assignments in line with the project-based learning approach. During each project presentation to the class, the students were required to individually assess their peers' group work based on an indicator that was previously designed in collaboration with the teacher. After each assessment, the students filled out the "Students' perceptions of and attitudes towards PA" questionnaire. The analysis implied that students' positive perception of their ability to assess their peers and their trust in their peers' ability to accurately assess their work are effective factors that might enhance PA skills transfer to their future classes. However, based on the results, a key challenge in PA implementation appeared to be culture-related. The study highlights the need to focus on consolidating trust among students within a heterogeneous classroom during PA processes.
