Validación de la Evaluación entre Compañeros en la Comunicación Oral Efectiva en los Estudios de Ingeniería

Abstract

[EN] Peer assessment is a form of collaborative learning in which the students evaluate learning products of other students. In this paper we present the results of the analysis of the assessment between students of oral presentations. A group of students solves a problem, writes a document with the resolution and makes an oral presentation in class for the rest of the students. Another group assesses both, the written document and the oral presentation. To help students to do the assessments two rubrics are provided along with other guidance documents which help in writing scientific documents and performing oral presentations. Regarding the oral communication, the rubric evaluates 5 factors. The result of the students¿ evaluation is compared with the simultaneous evaluation of two professors. When making a comparison of the global assessment between professors and students we find significant differences. However, when the factor ¿use of auxiliary resources¿ is removed these differences disappear, since that factor introduces dispersion difficult to be justified. In addition, the assessment performed by students with and without the help of a rubric is compared. In this case we do not find significant differences.
