Overview

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates improved academic performance and final grades from peer assessment in university economics students, indicating the benefits of participatory learning models.

Key Points

  • To analyze the impact of peer assessment methodologies on students' academic performance and knowledge acquisition in an intermediate macroeconomics course.
  • Conducted a quasi-experimental study with an equivalent control group involving N=121 undergraduate students in an Intermediate Macroeconomics course at the University of Alicante, Spain.
  • Implemented a shared teaching framework utilizing self-assessment, co-assessment, and peer evaluation supported by structured grading rubrics.
  • Achieved a statistically significant positive effect on student academic performance and final course grades following the peer assessment intervention.
  • Observed that successful execution required clear criteria, precise rubrics, and scientific transparency to foster effective co-learning and meaningful feedback.
