Abstract-The purpose of this study was to design a network-based peer evaluation strategy -which included two types of peer evaluation (known and unknown) to investigate the effect of these two types on developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills for students in Java object oriented programming language course (OOP). The participants of this study were twenty-four (n=24) students at College of Science and Arts, Qassim university. The results revealed that the two types of peer evaluation (in both known and unknown) had a positive effect on developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills for students. After, the comparison between the post-application of the two experimental groups in the problem solving and critical thinking skills, although there is a slightly higher between mean ranks in the sake of the unknown group, the results showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups. Finally, the researcher recommended to using a network-based peer evaluation strategy with other specializations and a large sample.

This paper presents a proposal for system supporting learners in improving their report-writing skills by recommending reports from previous learners. The proposed system recommends reports that share similar subjects but which have different structures, expressions, and originality based on the distributions of words and subjects within the reports, as estimated using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). An important assumption made for this study is that reports with different word distributions tend to include different structures, expressions, and originality when they share similar subjects. Based on that assumption, the system selects and recommends reports that have dissimilar word distributions but which share similar subject distributions with a learner's report. The proposed system is expected to enhance learning of various writing skills from other learners. Finally, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system through actual data experiments.

“…We have proposed a method of assigning reviewers for an OPA task in a real education environment. Our main objective was to encourage learners to participate in the OPA task to take advantage of the pedagogical benefits of this kind of learning task (Deng & Tavares, ; Uto & Ueno, ), and our hypothesis was that learners consider social relations when participating in an OPA task. We performed a simple experiment to check our hypothesis.…”

“…Topping, ). OPA also has other advantages (see, e.g., Gielen & De Wever, ;Rosa, Coutinho, & Flores, ; Ueno & Okamoto, ; Uto & Ueno, ) in reducing teacher workload in both the assessment and feedback processes (Bouzidi & Jaillet, ) and increasing studentŰstudent interaction (Rosa et al, ). Because of these advantages, OPA has been incorporated into new types of online courses, such as massive open online courses (MOOCs), small private online courses, small open online courses, corporate open online courses, and nano open online courses.…”

“…Online peer assessment (OPA) is the process whereby a learner assesses the work of a coursemate in an online learning environment. OPA is very advisable in online courses because, as Uto and Ueno () note, it helps distance education learners to develop several advantageous capabilities, such as responsibility, autonomy, and self‐regulation. Nevertheless, OPA tasks encounter some difficulties (Hanrahan & Isaacs, ) that can lead to a lack of engagement and participation by learners (Meek, Blakemore, & Marks, ).…”

Automatic assignment of reviewers in an online peer assessment task based on social interactions

et al. 2019

Online peer assessment tasks are very popular and have unique characteristics that improve learning and encourage social interactions in a distance education environment. Unfortunately, social factors have usually been ignored in the process of selecting reviewers for online peer assessment tasks. We hypothesise that this fact could have some influence on the lack of engagement and participation by some learners. For this reason, we propose an approach in which social network analysis techniques, expert criteria, and Bayesian reasoning are applied to select reviewers with the objective of increasing participation in peer review tasks. The approach is divided into two elements. On the one hand, we have developed an influence diagram template that structures a set of proposed social network analysis variables in accordance with expert criteria. This influence diagram template can be easily updated for any course simply by eliciting a minimal set of parameters. On the other hand, we have instantiated the proposed influence diagram template to produce an influence diagram network to quantify the quality of reviewer assignment for an online peer assessment task. In an online experiment, we verified that the consideration of social factors can increase participation in a peer assessment task.
