TLDR
Data analysis indicated that when controlling for the quality of the initial projects, there was a significant relationship between thequality of peer feedback students provided for others and the qualityOf the students' own final projects, but no significant relationship was found between the quality and active engagement in reviewing peers' projects.
Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the quality of peer assessment and the quality of student projects in a technology application course for teacher education students. Forty-three undergraduate student participants completed the assigned projects. During the peer assessment process, students first anonymously rated and commented on two randomly assigned peers' projects, and they were then asked to improve their projects based on the feedback they received. Two independent raters blindly evaluated student initial and final projects. Data analysis indicated that when controlling for the quality of the initial projects, there was a significant relationship between the quality of peer feedback students provided for others and the quality of the students' own final projects. However, no significant relationship was found between the quality of peer feedback students received and the quality of their own final projects. This finding supported a prior research claim that active engagement in reviewing peers' projects may facilitate student learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Comparing online and blended learner's self-regulated learning strategies and academic performance

TL;DR: The results show that online students utilised SRL strategies more often than blended learning students, with the exception of peer learning and help seeking, and key SRL predictors of academic performance were largely equivalent between online and blendedlearning students.

Peer reviewers learn from giving comments

TL;DR: This article explored how student reviewers learn by reviewing peer drafts in the context of reciprocal peer reviewing and found that providing weakness comments for micro-meaning and strength comments for macro-meaning improved the reviewers' writing qualities.

Online peer assessment: effects of cognitive and affective feedback

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of online peer assessment, in the form of peer grading and peer feedback, on students' learning were investigated using multiple regression models and the results indicated that the provision by student assessors of feedback that identified problems and gave suggestions was a significant predictor of the performance of the assessors themselves, and that positive affective feedback was related to their performance of assessees.

Understanding feedback: A learning theory perspective

TL;DR: This paper reviewed literature on feedback to teachers and found that the effectiveness of feedback and feedback processes depend on the learning theory adhered to Findings show that effective feedback is goal- or task-directed, specific, and neutral.

Formative Peer Assessment of Academic Writing Between Postgraduate Students

TL;DR: The authors conducted a qualitative formative assessment of academic writing by 12 postgraduate students of educational psychology and found that most found the process time consuming, intellectually challenging and socially uncomfortable, but effective in improving the quality of their own subsequent written work and developing other transferable skills.

Peer, self and tutor assessment: Relative reliabilities

TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative peer, self and tutor assessment scheme in which the students themselves defined the marking schedule for a scientific report of a laboratory experiment within the biological sciences, is evaluated in terms of correlations between sets of marks.

The Importance of Marking Criteria in the Use of Peer Assessment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report a study which implemented and evaluated a method of peer assessment, as a formative and summative assessment procedure, in which pairs of first-year undergraduate biology students were asked to complete a poster assignment on a specific aspect of nerve physiology.
