Abstract

Peer review is useful for providing students with formative feedback, yet it is used less frequently in STEM classrooms and for supporting writing-to-learn (WTL). While research indicates the benefits of incorporating peer review into classrooms, less research is focused on students’ perceptions thereof. Such research is important as it speaks to the mechanisms whereby peer review can support learning. This study examines students’ self-reported approaches to and perceptions of peer review and revision associated with WTL assignments implemented in an organic chemistry course. Students responded to a survey covering how they approached peer review and revision and the benefits they perceived from participating in each. Findings indicate that the assignment materials guided students’ approaches during both peer review and revision. Furthermore, students described various ways both receiving feedback from their peers and reading their peers’ drafts were beneficial, but primarily connected their revisions to receiving feedback.

学生在化学课程背景下为 "以写促学 "进行同行评议和修改的经验

同行评议有助于为学生提供形成性反馈，但在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）课堂以及支持 "从写作到学习"（WTL）的过程中，同行评议的使用频率较低。虽然研究表明将同行评议纳入课堂教学有很多好处，但较少研究学生对同行评议的看法。这种研究非常重要，因为它揭示了同伴互评支持学习的机制。本研究考察了学生自我报告的与有机化学课程中实施的 WTL 作业相关的同行评议和修改的方法和看法。学生们回答了一项调查，内容包括他们如何对待同行评议和复习，以及他们从参与同行评议和复习中获得的益处。调查结果表明，作业材料指导了学生在同行评议和修改过程中的方法。此外，学生们还描述了从同伴那里获得反馈和阅读同伴的草稿所带来的各种益处，但他们主要将自己的修改与获得反馈联系起来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
