The SAPA (self assessment over peer assessment) is a valuable tool for evaluating how students realistically assess their individual contributions within a team-based learning environment. The combination of self-assessment and peer assessment provides a comprehensive view of individual and team dynamics, facilitating a deeper understanding of teamwork and collaboration.
- Self-Assessment: Students assess their own performance, contributions, strengths, and weaknesses within the team. This encourages self-reflection and helps students become more aware of their roles and responsibilities within the team.
- Peer Assessment: Students also evaluate the performance and contributions of their peers. This can include assessing teamwork skills, communication effectiveness, leadership qualities, and overall contribution to the team’s success.
SAPA encourages accountability, self-awareness, and constructive feedback among team members, ultimately contributing to improved teamwork and learning outcomes in team-based activities.
