Abstract(s)
This research explores the contributions of peer feedback to student learning, in the context of
peer assessment. The study involved a class of 20 Portuguese middle school pupils and used
document analysis, interviews, and a questionnaire to collect data. Peer feedback was
identified as the key factor driving improvements in pupil performance, due mainly to its key
role in identifying improvement points, but also because it is viewed as more open and
understandable. Lower-performance pupils seemed to benefit more from peer feedback, while
high-achieving pupils demonstrated a more autonomous improvement through independent
work and feedback exchange, fostering analytical skills, critical thinking, and autonomy. All
pupils, however, exhibited improved feedback provision, indicating the overall development
of analytical skills. Oral peer feedback was viewed positively by pupils, facilitating understanding, despite concerns about potentially harming peers' work. Peer assessment
emerges as a catalyst for personal development and autonomy, impacting self-regulation,
motivation, responsibility, and resilience.
