Student performance assessment strategies by involving peer students

Abstract

One of the important factors in achieving students' learning outcomes is the implementation of assessment on the learning. It is vital to uncover or obtain information related to the students' achievement of the competencies comprehensively. Therefore, data is needed as an item of evidence and basis for decision making regarding the student's achievement of the competencies. To allow the students to demonstrate their competencies is one of the processes in collecting those items of evidence. Students demonstrating their competencies is a type of student performance. As a result, there is a need to engage with this performance assessment. The aim of the present study was to conduct the students' performance assessment by using Google Form and the involvement of peer students. Google form is an alternative computer-based assessment. The application is easy to use with the availability of useful features. It is also relevant to be used today as learning and teaching are mostly conducted online. Based on the performance assessment that involved peer students, score distribution in every performance task given was born in the normal curve. The result showed that the involvement of the peer students in the performance assessment yields positive outcomes. It can be said that the involvement of the peer students in assessment guaranteed the objective assessment based on the given rubrics.
