The Effectiveness of Peer Assessment in EFL Blended Learning Environments

Published:09 June 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

There is an increasingly application of peer assessment (PA) in blended learning environments to motivate and evaluate learners. In spite of its popularity, there are few studies to be conducted to analyze and corroborate its impact on students’ learning in this context. This study aims to evaluate effectiveness of peer assessment in blended learning settings, investigating what effects contribute to learning and teaching. The results suggest that peer assessment in blended learning context creates positive learning outcomes and more interesting attitudes for students. The findings as well as the implications for practice and research are discussed.
