An empirical review of anonymity effects in peer assessment,peer feedback,peer review,peer evaluation and peer grading

Abstract

Peer assessment has proven to have positive learning outcomes. Importantly, peer assessment is a social process and some claim that the use of anonymity might have advantages. However, the findings have not always been in the same direction. Our aims were: (a) to review the effects of using anonymity in peer assessment on performance, peer feedback content, peer grading accuracy, social effects and students’ perspective on peer assessment; and (b) to investigate the effects of four moderating variables (educational level, peer grading, assessment aids, direction of anonymity) in relation to anonymity. A literature search was conducted including five different terms related to peer assessment (e.g., peer feedback) and anonymity. Fourteen studies that used a control group or a within group design were found. The narrative review revealed that anonymous peer assessment seems to provide advantages for students’ perceptions about the learning value of peer assessment, delivering more critical peer feedback, increased self-perceived social effects, a slight tendency for more performance, especially in higher education and with less peer assessment aids. Some conclusions are that: (a) when implementing anonymity in peer assessment the instructional context and goals need to be considered, (b) existent empirical research is still limited, and (c) future research should employ stronger and more complex research designs.

艺术类大学生情绪调节策略特点及其与人格、自动思维关系研究

采用问卷法对351名艺术类大学生进行调查,探讨艺术类大学生情绪调节策略特点及其与人格、自动思维的相互关系.结果表明:(1)艺术类大学生在情绪调节策略使用上性别差异不显著;在愤怒和悲伤两种消极情绪调节策略中,注意转移策略最多.前者的情境修正策略最少,后者的人际支持策略最少.表达抑制策略在两种情绪调节中的使用均较少;在快乐情绪调节策略中,支持分享策略使用最多,表达抑制最少.(2)人格特质P、N和L及自动思维与情绪调节策略关系密切;(3)人格特质P,或通过自动思维对情绪调节策略有直接和间接效应.     

大学生思想政治教育过程的优化——基于控制论的方法

大学生思想政治教育的效果在很大程度上依赖于对这个复杂过程的深刻理解。思想政治教育的本质属性决定了价值引导是大学生思想政治教育的主要手段,其过程表现为信息的传递、接受、存储、整合、反馈等环节的循环,符合可控系统的基本特征。运用控制论的观念对思想政治教育过程的各个阶段作全面分析．有利于深化对思想政治教育系统的认识,也是优化思想政治教育过程的新方法。

Evaluating a technology supported interactive response system during the laboratory section of a histology course

Monitoring of student learning through systematic formative assessment is important for adjusting pedagogical strategies. However, traditional formative assessments, such as quizzes and written assignments, may not be sufficiently timely for making adjustments to a learning process. Technology supported formative assessment tools assess student knowledge, allow for immediate feedback, facilitate classroom dialogues, and have the potential to modify student learning strategies. As an attempt to integrate technology supported formative assessment in the laboratory section of an upper‐level histology course, the interactive application Learning Catalytics^TM, a cloud‐based assessment system, was used. This study conducted during the 2015 Histology courses at Cornell University concluded that this application is helpful for identifying student misconceptions “on‐the‐go,” engaging otherwise marginalized students, and forming a new communication venue between students and instructors. There was no overall difference between grades from topics that used the application and grades from those that did not, and students reported that it only slightly helped improve their understanding of the topic (3.8 ± 0.99 on a five‐point Likert scale). However, they highly recommended using it (4.2 ± 0.71). The major limitation was regarding the image display and graphical resolution of this application. Even though students embrace the use of technology, 39% reported benefits of having the traditional light microscope available. This cohort of students led instructors to conclude that the newest tools are not always better, but rather can complement traditional instruction methods.
