Abstract

Peer assessment promotes the development of children's higher-order cognitive skills.This study used epistemic network analysis to implement a 12-week peer assessment teaching strategy in a first-grade art course at an elementary school in China. It aimed to explore the impact of peer assessment on children's knowledge construction process in an art course from a time-series perspective. The results show that:（1）Peer assessment is effective in enhancing children's deeper knowledge construction and helping them to construct knowledge on higher-order cognitive structures.（2）Children with different levels of metacognitive self-regulation focused on different elements of knowledge, and peer assessment had a more pronounced effect on the integrated and deeper construction of cognitive structures in children with high levels of metacognitive self-regulation.（3）There were differences in the elements of knowledge that children of different genders focused on at different stages of the curriculum process. However, the overall process of knowledge construction progressed from shallow to deep learning, with no significant gender differences in this progression. Our findings not only enrich the process of constructing knowledge through peer assessment for first-grade students in the art program, but also provide insights for art teachers and educators to carry out educational activities.
