“…DOI: 10.1111/jcal.12409 that well-designed and properly implemented peer assessment may positively impact a range of outcome variables including students' academic achievements and cognitive development. Commonly reported benefits include improved learning outcome (Liu & Li, 2014, Li & Steckelberg, 2005Pope, 2001); enhanced critical thinking skills and self-regulation (Harrison, O'Hara, & McNamara, 2015); promoted motivation, autonomy, and responsibility (Pope, 2001;Somervell, 1993); increased access to timeliness of feedback (Gibbs, 1999) and quantity of feedback (Topping, 2009); boosted student interaction (Peng, 2010) and interpersonal skills (Brown, Topping, Henington, & Skinner, 1999); and enhanced understanding of assessment criteria (Burke & Pieterick, 2010). Among the many potentials reported, one of the most prominent is that peer assessment encourages active and reflective learning, and empowers students to take control of their own learning growth (Li et al, 2010;Li et al, 2012).…”
