How Does Evaluation Scaffold Affect the Interactive Quality of Online Peer Assessment?—An Analysis Based on SOLO Taxonomy
Sufficient interaction of learners is an important way to ensure the effectiveness of peer assessment.In order to solve the problem of low interactive quality in the current online peer assessment activities due to the lack of guidance for in-depth interaction,an evaluation scaffolding around the five different levels of thinking with the guidance of SOLO taxonomy is designed.Taking the"Modern Educational Technology"course as an example,the quasi-experimental research method is used to analyze the interactive texts generated by the evaluation activities in terms of quantitative content as well as the improvement of the learners'works,and to explore the impact of evaluation scaffolds on the quality of online peer evaluation interactions.The study found that(1)the evaluation scaffold can significantly improve the quality of the interaction results of learners'participation in peer assessment activities;(2)the evaluation scaffold facilitates the transformation of the depth of learners'interactions from a shallow level to a deeper level;and(3)the learners have a favorable attitude toward the evaluation scaffold,which,as a kind of evaluation tool,can effectively guide the peer assessment activities to promote the learners'own learning in the course.
