Subclaims¶

q2 i? Peer assessment skills are not easily or automatically acquired; they are a complex skill that must be developed, which justifies training and guidance as an explicit variable in peer assessment designs. → Gielen 2011

Evidence¶

Gielen 2011¶

Gielen, S., Dochy, F., & Onghena, P. (2011). An inventory of peer assessment diversity. Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 36(2), 137–155. https://doi.org/10.1080/02602930903221444

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review attributes this assertion to Sluijsmans and Prins (2006), citing it as the rationale for adding 'Training/guidance' as a new variable in Cluster V. The review reports it second-hand; no empirical result is presented here.

"‘It should be noted that peer assessment skills are not easily and automatically acquired. Peer assessment is considered a complex skill that needs to be developed’ (Sluijsmans and Prins 2006, 9)."
