Adaptive Peer Grading and Formative Assessment in Education

This presentation delves into the concept of adaptive peer grading and formative assessment, focusing on how students can analyze and grade their peers' assignments as part of their learning process. It highlights the challenges students face in developing assessment skills, particularly during their initial years in higher education, and emphasizes the importance of implementing effective assessment strategies to enhance student capabilities. The presentation provides a background on the benefits of assessment in improving student performance, with a focus on the role of formative assessment in supporting the learning process, especially in subjects like mathematics. It explores various assessment approaches, including peer grading, to improve students' argumentative skills and clarify their ideas. The methodology involves experimental questions, teacher-led grading methodologies, and student feedback for review. The results are analyzed to compare student and teacher grades. The presentation concludes with an analysis of the outcomes, emphasizing the unreliability of student grades for decision-making. The presentation references a research paper on Adaptive Peer Grading and Formative Assessment.

Presentation

Introduction
• Peer grading entails students analyzing
their peers’ tasks as part of their own
tasks.
• Many students lack these assessment
skills during their first year in the campus.
• The implementation of a feasible
assessment strategy improve student
capability in dealing with assessments.

Background of assessment
• Research proves that assessment
learning improves students’ performance.
• However, all these assessments must aim
at supporting the learning process.
• Mathematics is well understood when
there is continuous assessment.
• Formative assessment assist the teachers
to make recommendation on students’
performance based on the results.

• Students also improves their argumentative
skills through assessments.
• However, there are various assessment
approach that learners can use in
Mathematics.
• Peer grading is applied in improving the way
students argue and clarify their ideas.
• The student give back the feedback after soe
recommendation.

Ways of ensuring peer grading.
• The teacher give assignment to a given
number of students.
• Every student submit his/her solution
same to elaboration.
• Each student also take various submission
for assessment and grading.
• Every grade that the student recommend
is subjected to a grading matrix.

• n- represent number of students
• M- is the number of submission each
student grades.
• A- is the grading matrix
• G- is the grade proposed.

The experimental method
• The methodology involves having
experiment questions to be answered by a
group of students doing mathematics unit.
• It involves the extent in which the peer
grading support the formative assessment.
• The second issue is the extent in which
the peer grading can improve the learning
result for the students.

• The process involves planning, setup and
submission.
• In planning stage, teachers agree on grading
methodology and allocation procedure
• In the setup, the teachers comes up with
assessment forms.
• Submission involves students giving their
feedback which is given out to others for
review.

• In the assessments stage the students
review their peers work based on the criteria
the teachers have given out.
• The next step is to collect the data from the
workshop based on the number of students
participated and the number of submissions.
• However, it is important to remove the dumy
grades from the results.

Experimenting the results
• The last step involves analyzing the outcome
obtained in the previous stages.
• It involves comparing the marks from the
teachers and the students.
• After the summation, the next step is to
obtain the average.
• The outcome is that the grades that the
students give are unreliable and may not be
used in decision making.
