Abstract

Evaluation plays a substantial role in group work implementation and peer evaluation gets prevalent with increasing flipped learning scenarios and online evaluation platforms. The accuracy of peer evaluation remains contingent in group work practice thus eliciting relevant studies on grader reliability. In this study, we present a data-driven approach to solving this issue utilizing learner models. On the one hand, we use previous learning logs to estimate and visualize the grader reliability in group work evaluation sessions as “peer evaluation potential”, which is used to align peer rating accuracy. On the other hand, leveraging reliability indicators created in the current session, learner models can be updated with new dimensions for subsequent usage. In addition, a case study in a high school English class was presented to examine this data-driven workflow and the results suggest the estimated peer evaluation potential correlates with the deviation from average peer judgment. Further potentials to cultivate peer evaluation-related capabilities are proposed as well.
