Lecture
Description
  1. Conceptual Foundations: Define self-assessment and peer assessment (PA/SA). Discuss their theoretical basis (constructivism, metacognition, and assessment literacy).
  2. The Benefits (The 'Why'): Explore the impact on metacognitive skills, student motivation, and deeper learning. Use research (e.g., from Wiliam or Stiggins) to show how students' ability to assess quality improves their own work.
  3. Practical Implementation (The 'How'): Detail the necessary steps for success: a) Training students on how to give and receive effective feedback. b) The critical importance of high-quality rubrics or success criteria. c) Strategies for managing bias and ensuring fairness (e.g., anonymity, calibration).
  4. Digital Tools Showcase: Briefly demonstrate online tools (e.g., Canvas Peer Review, Moodle Workshop, dedicated peer feedback platforms) that manage the PA/SA process.
