Grainger, Peter; Fleischman, David; Birch, Dawn
e-Journal of Business Education and Scholarship of Teaching, v15 n3 p1-15 Dec 2021
Assessment is a key driver for engagement and a widely criticised aspect of the tertiary student experience. In regard to assessment, in particular, feedback, rubrics and peer review have been major focuses for researchers in recent years. This research utilised an innovative peer review process in a triad structure to evaluate and improve assessment rubrics in a business course at a regional university in Australia. Data from interviews with academics and students was analysed using a recognised 10 question framework to evaluate the quality of the rubrics used in the course. The results indicated the 10 question framework was a useful tool to evaluate the quality of the rubrics. In addition, the process of peer review of assessment artefacts, in a triad structure improved assessment literacies of the participating academics, improved accountability evidence, and led to greater staff and student satisfaction due to improved assessment experiences. This research contributes to new knowledge due to its focuses on assessment rubrics, the efficacy of the 10 question framework as a reviewing mechanism and the use of academic triads to review assessment and not teaching performance.
