The Impact of Peer Assessment on Students’ Recount Text

Abstract

Peer Assessment is one of the alternative methods to enhance the students’ motivation and ability in writing. Providing feedback is the goal of peer assessment. It is not an easy task as it is required an ability to deliver the feedback critically and competence to master the knowledge of writing. Therefore, the present study is going to explore the impact of giving feedback in the peer assessment process on students’ recount text and to acknowledge the students’ challenges while giving and receiving feedback in that process. Qualitative study assisted the researcher to get the data. The university students in the second semester became the subjects of the study. Documents and interviews were techniques to collect the data. The results revealed that the students’ first draft and the last draft of recount text got improvements mainly on the aspect of grammar. Meanwhile, most students’ challenges while giving and receiving feedback in the process of peer assessment were the aspect of psychology and the knowledge of grammar. In conclusion, the process of peer assessment which involves giving and receiving feedback provides a positive impact on the students’ recount text and the challenges which are faced by the students can be used as inputs for the lecturer in teaching.

Unlocking the Power of Peer Assessment Technique: A Catalyst for Enhanced Writing Skills in Higher Education

“…Moreover, the 2-tailed significance level of .000, which was lower than the commonly used alpha value of 0.05, indicates that the observed difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Thus, Haeriyati et al, (2023); Indasari et al, (2019); Mantra et al, (2020) & Meletiadou (2021 reinforced the argument that the Peer Assessment Technique led to a meaningful improvement in the experimental class.…”

“…In the Indonesia's education framework, writing has a critical impact on achieving student learning goals (Indasari et al, 2019). Accordingly, as written on the lesson plan, university level employs a curriculum which focuses on student-centered learning and requires students to have a deep understanding of facts, concepts, procedures, and metacognitive knowledge.…”

“…Previous research on Peer Assessment Technique in teaching writing has revealed important findings. Yet, numerous research discovered by (Ayu et al, 2022;Haeriyati et al, 2023;Indasari et al, 2019;Mantra et al, 2020& Mumpuni et al, 2022 discovered that the Peer Assessment Technique can improve the quality of students' writing. Through Peer Assessment Technique, students can receive more diverse and in-depth feedback on the quality of their writing, which may not be possible through teacher assessment alone (Indasari et al, 2019).…”

Kajian Teoritis Implementasi Peer-Assessment untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Partisipasi Peserta Didik pada Pembelajaran Kooperatif

“…Namun, dengan terus melatih peserta didik untuk menilai dengan peer-assessment maka peserta didik akan meningkatkan kemampuannya dalam menilai termasuk objektivitasnya dalam menilai. Seperti diungkapkan oleh Indasari et al (2019) bahwa penilai sejawat (peer) memiliki kemampuan menilai yang rendah, namun dengan terus latihan dalam menilai maka dia akan bisa menilai lebih valid dan reliabel bahkan dari gurunya. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Adawiyah (2020) menunjukkan bahwa kualitas penilaian yang diberikan oleh peserta didik dari pertemuan ke pertemuan semakin meningkat dan ini mengindikasikan bahwa dengan terus mengimplementasikan peer-assessment, peserta didik akan lebih memahim prosedur peer-assessment sehingga kualitas penilaian yang diberikan oleh peserta didik juga akan menjadi baik.…”

Online peer assessment in paragraph writing its implementation and students’ constraints

“…Moreover, in the current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic where the students are forced to learn remotely, their disengagement resulting from the lack of in-person interaction made writing classes less stimulating, thus negatively affecting their motivation. Online peer assessment (henceforth, OPA) could be an alternative to rectify this issue because it could pique the students' interest and subsequently get them more engaged in the remote teaching and learning process (Indasari et al, 2019).…”
