An analysis of scoring via analytic rubric and general impression in peer assessment
Abstract
The aim of this research
was to analyze and compare analytic rubric and general impression scoring in
peer assessment. A total of 66 university students participated in the study
and six of them were chosen as peer raters on a voluntary basis. In the
research, students were supposed to prepare a sample study within the scope of
scientific research methods course and were also expected to present their
studies in class. While the students were giving a presentation, their course
instructor and peer raters conducted scoring, firstly by using the analytic
rubric and subsequently by using general impressions. Collected data were
analyzed using the Rasch model. Consequently, it was found that students were
distinguished from one another at a highly reliable rate using both scoring
methods. Additionally, it was discovered that the differences between students’
ability levels were better revealed when analytic rubric was used. It was
ascertained that there was a high level positive correlation between the
ability estimations obtained from the scores performed by the peers and the
instructor, regardless of the scoring method used. Finally, it was determined
that ability estimations, corresponding peer raters’ analytic rubric and
general impression scoring, held a positive and highly strong relation.
