Abstract

Peer assessment (PA) can provide a new experience for students, but less attention is given in the process of teaching and learning. Previous studies found that students have a positive perception of the validity of PA methods despite doubts about their ability to assess friends’ work or progress. Students with high integrity will apply professional ethics during PA. In conclusion, PA can lead to an increase in the efficiency of cognitive and metacognitive processes, acquisition of professional skills, attainment of a student’s achievement and improvement in a lecturer’s teaching method. Although a peer assessment exercise takes more time to be conducted in the teaching and learning process, it is beneficial to both students and lecturers. After the previous review, further research should be carried out in order to raise the level of student integrity in peer assessment for the new generation. © 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
