Evaluation of work by students and teachers

Students submit work, assess the work of others and are also assessed by their teachers. This gives them a wider range of perspectives from which to progress.

💡Some advice

This approach combines the benefits of peer and expert assessment, offering students a rich, multi-dimensional learning experience.

Establish clear evaluation criteria - Provide a detailed evaluation grid for students and teachers to use.

Train students in assessment - Organize a session to explain how to assess objectively and constructively.

Encourage reflexivity - Ask students to compare their self-assessment with evaluations received to stimulate reflection.

Facilitate discussion - Set aside some time to discuss the evaluations, to clarify points of view and deepen understanding.

Weight assessments - Decide in advance the relative weight of peer and teacher assessments in the final grade.

Ensure anonymity - Set up an anonymous evaluation system to encourage honesty and reduce bias.

Monitor the process - Monitor the quality of peer reviews and intervene where necessary to maintain high standards.

Value participation - Recognize students' effort in the assessment process, not just their performance in the assessed work.

"It allows them to take a step back from their own work, to go deeper into the concepts of the course and see different methods for solving an exercise. It also gives them a better understanding of what's expected in an assignment and the objectives of the course".

Answers to your questions

How can I be sure that the assessments are fair and objective?

ChallengeMe offers clear and precise evaluation criteria that you can customize. What's more, the anonymity of assessments and the possibility of having several assessors per job help ensure fairness.

We also recommend preparing the students, explaining the objectives, and even co-constructing the criterion grid with them, taking examples from previous work.

Absolutely, group work is possible, both in the response phase (submitting a file as a group, for example) and in the evaluation phase (students must agree on feedback and evaluations).

We have a wide range of content available. On the platform, students are guided through the activity with tips for giving relevant feedback. We also provide teachers with documents they can use to present the activity to students.

The choice is yours! You can set up a formative system only (no grades, only feedback), or build a grade with weighting on criteria, bonuses/maluses according to certain events (lateness, for example), or even weight the peer assessment grade with the teacher's grade.

We work with over 90 schools in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Quebec. On our website, you'll find feedback from other schools on our activities.
