Abstract

Authentic assessment allows students to demonstrate knowledge and skills in real-world tasks. In research, peer review is one such task that researchers learn by doing, as they evaluate other researchers’ work. This means peer review could serve as an authentic assessment that engages students’ critical thinking skills in a process of active learning. In this study, we had students write peer reviews of preprints, scaffolded by a rubric. Agreement between the students and academics was reasonable, and active student involvement was high. The results suggest that use of peer review in undergraduate classes should be explored more. It likely facilitates students’ ability to evaluate the quality of scientific studies, encourages active learning about the scientific process and shows potential for contributing to publicly-available assessment of scientific studies.
让本科生参与预印本同行评审
真实评估可以让学生在实际任务中展示知识和技能。在研究领域,同行评议就是这样一项任务,研究人员在评价其他研究人员的工作时,可以边做边学。这意味着同行评议可以作为一种真实的评估,让学生的批判性思维能力参与到主动学习的过程中。在这项研究中,我们让学生在评分标准的指导下撰写预印本的同行评议。学生和学者之间的意见一致,学生的积极参与程度很高。研究结果表明,应更多地探索在本科生课堂上使用同行评议的方法。它可能会促进学生评估科学研究质量的能力,鼓励学生主动学习科学过程,并显示出促进公开科学研究评估的潜力。
