Teamwork in student activities can be a tricky endeavor, with challenges arising from unequal contributions, social loafing, and interpersonal conflicts. Many educators have encountered situations where students complain about team members not pulling their weight or facing conflicts during group activities. To address these issues, a valuable strategy is Peer Evaluation (PE) of teamwork, where students evaluate their peers’ contributions and behaviors throughout an assignment or activity.
One practical way to implement Team Peer Evaluation is through the Peer Assessment Factor (PAF), where team members allocate points based on specific criteria, such as communication, contribution to the project, performance, and timeliness.
The purpose of a PAF is to prevent students from gaming the system. A student’s self-assigned score is scrutinized by comparing it with the scores given by other team members. If there is a significant discrepancy, the score is disregarded. This ensures fairness and accuracy in evaluating each student’s contribution.
With tools like InteDashboard’s Peer Evaluation: Michaelsen Method, educators can easily run group peer evaluations, utilizing the PAF to assess and enhance students’ teamwork skills.
