  • Empowering student learning through online peer assessment [Elektronski vir]
    Madden, Catherine ...
    This paper describes a case study examining how peer assessment (PA) was implemented in an undergraduate nursing programme through a conceptual framework of learning-oriented assessment (LOA), and ... presents a preliminary evaluation of students% experiences undertaking PA. Firstly, peer assessment is situated as an innovative, collaborative student-centered approach to assessment. Secondly, this case study is set in the context of Irish nurse education in one Institute of Technology, across two undergraduate modules and this landscape is described as the contextual backdrop for this discussion. Thirdly, two illustrative cases of peer assessment activities embedded in the curriculum are described, and how the LOA components were applied within a blended learning design are illustrated. Finally, an evaluation of the impact of PA on the quality of learning will be presented, highlighting the inherent opportunities and challenges for nurse education. The paper argues that peer assessment empowers the learning process in a collaborative and supportive environment enabling active engagement of students by linking teaching and assessment to learning. Moreover, the authors contend peer assessment promotes transferable meta-cognitive skills such as critical, analytical and reflective thinking, which are critical competencies for nurse education and contemporary nursing practice.
