An overall agreement on the use of a group self
assessment
procedure
There is very good agreement among students on the fairness of peer
assessment and the convenience of the voting procedure (setting ground
rules and online voting) (scales 2 & 3 in Figure 2). Disagreement
increases slightly for the principle of group assessment (scale 1). For
about 15% of respondents, it does not reduce anxiety or increase
willingness to participate. Overall, however, the procedure can be
considered acceptable by more than 70% of the population. The effects
on group working and group beliefs (scales 4 & 5) have a much higher
percentage of disagreement, although a very convincing majority still
confirms positive effects. A large majority (70%) reports an improved
overall experience.
