Abstract

In Spain only a limited number of studies have been done regarding students evaluating their peers in higher education. The objective of this article is to analyse the way in which students that have participated in a cooperative learning project evaluated their peers. Data were collected online from a sample of 119 bachelor students that were registered in a teacher training course at the University of Alcalá. Activities were designed for both peer evaluation and self-evaluation in group work. These student evaluations were compared with ratings given by the teacher. A contrast analysis showed a statistically significant difference of 1-2 points between the mean scores, in favour of the students. Despite these overestimated values, an analysis of the content from the self-evaluation tool showed its usefulness for improving the formative assessment process for both students and teachers.
