The aims of the project are as follows:
- To involve students as partners in the assessment of group work (or collaborative learning) in a fair and consistent manner
- To improve student (and staff) satisfaction by adoption a new approach to group work assessment
- To inform institutional policy on assessing group work
The objectives are as follows:
- A mixture of qualitative (semi-structured interviews/focus groups) and quantitative (questionnaires) methodologies involving both students and staff in within the university.
- explore the use of a novel mathematical model to calculate individual, differential student scores by combining student-generated assessment of the teamwork process with the lecturer-generated product assessment of the entire team
- Analysis of findings
- Recommendations/roadmap to inform institutional policy on assessing group work
