Paper Abstract:
|
Simultaneous in-class presentations are well suited to the use of peer evaluation, which also promotes greater
involvement of the student audience. The problem for the teacher is how to manage peer evaluation and make it a useful
part of the curriculum. PeerEval is a mobile application that allows students to anonymously evaluate presentations in
real time using a Likert scale rubric and individual peer comments. The results of each evaluation are compiled in a
database which is available to the teacher and the students. This short paper focuses on implementing and evaluating this
app in Japanese university classrooms. The researchers sought to evaluate both the technical aspects of the software and
nature of student feedback using the software. Student attitudes towards the PeerEval system were measured using a
twelve-item questionnaire concerning usability of the software, their attitudes towards the system both as a presenter and
as an audience member. Results are discussed regarding student perceptions of the evaluation system, overall feedback
quality, and the perceived effect of feedback speed and peer comments. Further uses for a mobile peer-evaluation system
are also discussed. |
