This study explores the case of peer evaluation in team project-based learning at a university. Peer
evaluation in this study consists of presentation evaluation among teams and contribution evaluation within
a team. For this purpose, the comments of students are categorized based on the reference model.
The results of the study are as follows. First, students seem to share common frame of reference in
cognitive, affective, and skill domains. ‘Relevance’ in the cognitive domain turns out to be the most
important criterion in the presentation evaluation, while ‘interaction’ in the affective domain prevails in the
contribution evaluation. Second, students express positive comments more frequently than negative ones.
Third, the average score of presentation evaluation is between A0 and B0, while the score of contribution
evaluation lies between A+ and A0, which shows a high level of leniency among team members.
The understanding of peer evaluation may lead to the fairness of evaluation in class. The peer
evaluation may increase the chance of participation in class and interaction among class members as well.
Moreover, instructors may get more information on the attitude and satisfaction of students in the class.
As such, there seems to a need for various measurement tools for peer evaluation in courses of diverse
majors.
