Assessing Peer Performance in PBL Groups: how technology can help Carolyn K. Manning Associate Professor Dept of Health, Nutrition & Exercise Sciences University of Delaware Newark, Delaware USA

Objectives 1.Describe strengths & weaknesses of an online peer evaluation tool 2.Implement an online peer evaluation tool in your teaching activities

Questions for the audience 1.How many of you include peer evaluation in your course requirements? 2. Do you use this model:  Mid-semester give numerical score/grade & comments award points toward final grade  End of semester award points toward final grade

3.What has been your experience with peer evaluations? ?Paper form ?Time  Feedback: calculations, compiling comments ?Quality Questions for the audience

A peer evaluation process needs to be: Easy for students to do in a meaningful & confidential manner Easy for the instructor to provide feedback in a confidential manner Timely

Peer evaluation process: Paper form 3 sections (see handout) –Evaluation scale & Criteria for evaluation –Individual: group member names & numerical scores supporting comments specific strength –Group: strength weakness & strategy to overcome

Paper form Advantages 1.Easy to implement (instructor) 2.Somewhat easy for students to complete

Paper form Disadvantages 1.Lots of paper to collect & keep track of (instructor & student) 2.Time consuming (instructor) due to manual: tabulations & compilations of comments 3.Quality of evaluations: Comments (limited space, superficial) Inflated numeric scores

Peer evaluation process: Online form Information Resource Consultant III: John Hall “Quiz” tool in WebCT (see handout)

Online form Sections: –Individual performance letter grade comments: –strength and/or weakness specific to research & writing skills –Group performance strength weakness & strategy

Online form (see handout)

Online form Advantages 1.Quality (see handout) –No space restrictions for comments 2.Easy for students –Time spent 3.Easy to track student participation 4.Printed summary reports (see handout)

Online form Disadvantages 1.Evaluation criteria not listed 2.Instructor time –Printing reports (~1 hour 5 min for 42 students in 9 PBL groups) –Compiling comments & grade into written feedback for each student (see handout)

Comments? Questions?

What I learned Online form facilitates the peer evaluation process –More depth by students in supporting comments –Printed individual feedback for each student
