The effectiveness of peer assessment in the flipped classroom

The flipped classroom pedagogy has been promoted to encourage students to learn at their own pace outside the classroom and with the absence of teachers. Valuable in-class time can thus be freed up for students to deepen their understanding of the content. However, learning at home can promote a lackadaisical learning environment. Student learning relies heavily on learning motivation. To address this motivational challenge, a peer assessment component was deliberately integrated into the flipped classroom pedagogy in this study. Preliminary results suggest that the students demonstrated a good attitude in the pre-lesson peer assessment process, and they were satisfied with the peer assessment activity.
