Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 資訊教育研究所教學碩士班 === 92 === Portfolio is a collection of student work assembled to demonstrate student achievement or improvement. Peer Assessment is a good way of increasing the role of students as active participants in the leaning process of themselves. However, the common perception about Peer assessment is that it is more suitable for implementation in higher education, and to use it as an evaluation tool in elementary schools still poses much doubt. Therefore, this research aims to create a Web-Based Portfolio System that will suit the needs of elementary students. It will gather all data from the participants’ web-based portfolio, perform statistical analysis on it and transform it into a graph or chart that will be consistent with the student’s journal. Thus, it will prove to be a comprehensive automatic journal that will keep track of a student’s status. This automatic journal will allow elementary students to use the peer assessment for reference. It can also help the evaluator understand better the student’s learning status in order that the Peer Assessment would provide a more precise evaluation. This study was the quasi-experimental design. An elementary school in Tainan was selected as sample for this study. 136 Grade 6 students were selected and randomly divided into three groups. During the peer assessment, the three groups were provided different reference materials. The consistency between the student’s evaluation and the teacher’s evaluation was examined. The results of the research showed that (1) the functions of the Web-Based Portfolio System designed in this research are highly suitable for elementary students, (2) During the use of Automatic Journal and Peer Assessment, student evaluation was more effective than before the study was conducted. (3).The elementary school students accepted the way of peer assessment highly. Nevertheless, whether or not the application of the Automatic Journal in Peer Assessment will influence the standard evaluation criteria remains uncertain.
