Students\' Views on Peer Assessment: A case study

Year 2013, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 241 - 253, 26.06.2013

Abstract

In this study, a special peer assessment technique was applied for 5th grade students in relation to the unit “Electricity in our life” in the Science and Technology course. According to this activity, it was aimed to determine the views of students associated with peer assessment. It was also aimed to study the reflection of students’ success which they acquired as a result of peer assessment. In addition, the views of a science teacher and a class teacher who participated as observers were received. The research design is based on the method of qualitative research. The pattern of research is a case study. 30 students at the 5th grade of primary school in the district Selcuklu form the sample group of the research. The self-structured interview method was used to get students’ view and the unstructured interview method was used to receive teachers’ opinions. It was established that students have positive thoughts about peer assessment. Based on the result of peer assessment, it is possible to claim that successful groups have more positive thoughts than others.

Öğrenci Görüşleriyle Akran Değerlendirme: Bir Örnek Uygulama

Year 2013, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 241 - 253, 26.06.2013

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, ilköğretim 5. sınıf öğrencilerine Fen ve Teknoloji dersi “Yaşamımızdaki Elektrik” ünitesine yönelik örnek bir akran değerlendirme etkinliği yaptırılmıştır. Bu ders etkinliğinden yola çıkarak öğrencilerin akran değerlendirmesine yönelik görüşlerinin belirlenmesi ve öğrencilerin akran değerlendirme sonucu edindikleri başarı derecelerinin görüşlerine yansıma durumunun araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca etkinliğin uygulanması esnasında gözlemci olarak katılan bir fen ve teknoloji ve bir sınıf öğretmeninin de akran değerlendirmeye yönelik görüşleri alınmıştır. Araştırmanın veri toplama, örneklem seçimi ve veri analizi basamaklarının tümü nitel araştırma yöntemiyle tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın deseni; durum (örnek olay) çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın örneklemi; amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir örneklem tekniğiyle seçilmiştir. Konya ili Selçuklu ilçesinde ilköğretim 5. sınıfa devam eden 30 öğrenci araştırmanın örneklem grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin görüşlerine yönelik verilerin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış, öğretmenlerin görüşlerinin alınmasında ise yapılandırılmamış görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunda yer alan ilköğretim 5. sınıf öğrencileri akran değerlendirmesine yönelik olumlu görüşlere sahiptir. Akran değerlendirmesi sonucu başarılı olan gruplar, diğerlerinden daha olumlu görüşlere sahip olmuştur
