Perceptions of Accounting Students on Peer Evaluation
Unanimous agreement in higher education that group work can enhance the development of technical knowledge and teamwork skills which are vital to graduates in their work place and professional practice.To capitalize on the benefits of group work and at the same time,alleviate the potential negative effects such as free-riding and intra-group conflict,this project was conducted for the purposes of developing an appropriate peer evaluation approach,evaluating students perceptions on the proposed approach,and refining the approach.Participants were 183 accounting students studying at a post-secondary institution in Hong Kong.Data were collected from survey and focus group interviews.Findings revealed that majority of students perceived the proposed peer evaluation approach was fair,transparent,and could motivate active participation in group work.This project provides a tested and workable peer evaluation approach for group projects at the sub-degree level,as well as maximises the learning values that group projects can bring to students.
