Peer Assessment Measuring & Monitoring Team Performances Ir. Vincent Brugemann and Robert-Vincent de Koning Bsc Delft University of Technology Challenge the future Presentation for TBM staff • About Peer assessment • Peer Feedback/Peer Review • Peer Evaluation (PE) • How to use peer assessment? • Peer Feedback/Peer Review • Via Blackboard • Peer Evaluation (PE) • Scorion 2 Context Faculty of Aerospace Engineering • 2000+ students in BSc and MSc • In BSc much use is made of project based learning (approx. 35 ECTS) • Students work in groups of 8-10 on a variety of projects 3 Problem: Assessment • There is a large need amongst lecturers for assistance in assessing individual performance in a group working environment • Major problem areas: • • • • Who did what? What is the size of the individual contribution? What is the quality of that contribution? In what way did a person contribute to the group process? 4 What is Peer Assessment? • Peer Assessment is an umbrella term for a number of different teaching methods in which peers assess each other’s products and/or behaviour. • Peer Assessment is always formative (diagnostic). The aim of Peer Assessment is to learn from feedback; there are no summative consequences. In other words, assessments by peers will not result in grades. 5 When should Peer Assessment be used? • Peer Assessment is a useful way to get students to collaborate intensively on the subject you want them to learn. The students: 1. Learn to assess each other using assessment criteria 2. Analyse the subject matter more thoroughly by applying the criteria 3. Learn to give and receive constructive feedback 4. Learn to take responsibility 5. Appreciate being taken seriously 6 Two forms of Peer Assessment • We distinguish two different forms of Peer Assessment so that you can choose the appropriate instrument for your specific teaching situation. • The forms of Peer Assessment applied at TU Delft are: • Peer Feedback/Peer Review • Peer Evaluation (PE) 7 PEER FEEDBACK/PEER REVIEW 8 Peer Feedback/Peer Review • Students provide commentary on each other’s products. • Similar to the Peer Review used in the scientific world to assess scientific articles. • In an educational environment it can also be used to describe assessments of products (which may include scientific articles). 9 Working with Peer Feedback/ Peer Review • If you want your students to assess each other’s products you can use the Self and Peer Assessment tool in Blackboard • The students submit their products and Blackboard then distributes them among their peers so that they can assess each other’s work. 10 PEER EVALUATION (PE) 11 Peer Evaluation (PE) • Peer Evaluation is a form of Peer Assessment in which students provide commentary on each other’s behaviour during cooperation (for example in project groups). • The PE instrument Scorion has been developed especially for TU Delft. 12 Added value of Peer Evaluation • PE can be embedded in teaching and function as an early-warning system, helping projects to run more smoothly. • The tutor’s own impressions of how the project groups are performing can be compared with the findings of the students themselves. • PE enables the students to develop social skills while simultaneously acquiring the relevant subject knowledge. 13 Solution: Peer & Self evaluations Peer evaluation: Assessing of team members on their contribution to the project and the way that contribution came into being. Self evaluation: Assessing of one’s own contribution to the project and the way that contribution came into being. 14 Types of peer evaluations Three types of peer evaluations: 1. Ranking (from top to bottom) 2. Dividing (Dividing up a fixed number of points or amount of money amongst team members) 3. Rubrics (Using qualitative criteria to have students assess each other) For project based learning at Aerospace Engineering it was found that option 3 works the best. 15 Criteria Op L&R aan de TU Delft worden 5 criteria gebruikt: • Job performance • Attitude • Leadership / Initiative • Communication • Management of Resources 16 Job Performance Attitude Leadership/Initiative Management of Communication Resources ++ + Consistently does more than required. Work is of exceptional quality. Positive and professional attitude which favorably influences other company members. Takes initiative to seek out work, concerned with getting the job done. Very involved in the technical project. Uses time effectively in and out of group and works to get others to do the same. All tasks completed on or ahead of schedule. Oral and written skills excellent. Very effective within the group and to reviewers. Sometimes does more than required. Work is of high quality. A producer.

Evaluaties kunnen ook ingezien worden. • ‘View results’ toont de scores en laat een sync toe met Grade Center 39 PEER EVALUATION (PE) 40 Scorion •In gebruik sinds 2011 •Aanzienlijke groei sinds 2011 •Afgelopen jaar ingezet voor 29 vakken •Aantal gebruikers vorig jaar was ~7000 •Rubrics gemaakt door LR is de standaard 41 Scorion – gang van zaken •Docent doet aanvraag bij E-Learning Support (ELS) minimaal twee weken van tevoren. •Docent dient keuze te maken in: •Aantal evaluaties •Formulier template •Rapport template •Docent deelt groepsindeling met ELS •liefste groepsindeling op Blackboard •Vragen over mogelijkheden? Bel E-Learning Support voor advies! 42 Scorion – gang van zaken (2) •ELS maakt formulieren •ELS verzendt de formulieren op afgesproken tijdstip •Docent stuurt eventueel herinnering naar studenten •Studenten vullen formulieren in (inloggen met NetID) •Formulier sluit automatisch op afgesproken datum Docent kan groepsrapporten inzien Student is in staat persoonlijk rapport in te zien 43 Examples Closed questions Title Scoring explanation (optional) Scoring All students in the group have to be graded 44 Examples Open questions (standard) Open questions gives the teacher the possibility to allow the students to give feedback on their peers publicly or in private (to their teacher). Feedback for every student. Not compulsory in standard form (can be changed) 45 Examples Group report (for teacher) The standard group report contains the average peer scores for a student for each question and the score the student gave oneself. The column Delta gives the difference between these two. 46 Examples Group report (for teacher) The standard group report also contains the public and private remarks. These can help the teacher to find problems within groups. If there are any. 47 Examples Group report (for teacher) It is also possible to plot the individual results of students in so-called Spiderplots. These plots can be added to the report if it is requested by the teacher. The total average score can also be shown in the report if requested. 48 Examples Individual report (for student) The student will only see the average scores he/she has been given and will not see the scores of others. The student will also get a personal Spiderplot. Only the public remarks will be shown. 49 Further Possibilities Questions • New questions can be implemented. These questions can be open or closed. • The title, explanation of the scoring and scoring can be altered if desired. • Questions do not necessarily have to be about the students, but can also be used to evaluate the teaching assistents. • It is up to the teacher which peer results are available to the student. • Open questions can be made anonymous. 50 Implementing Peer Assessment • Do you want to implement Peer Assessment and/or do you have further questions? • Please contact E-Learning support ELS , tel. 89194, [email protected]. • We need to have your application for a Peer Evaluation with Scorion at least two weeks before the evaluation date. • If you will be working with PE for the first time, then we will need to have your application at least two weeks prior to the start of the course. 51 Questions? • If you should have any additional questions contact Vincent Brügemann, tel. 84363, [email protected] • For questions regarding the implementation of Peer Assessments, contact E-Learning Support: [email protected] 89194 52
