Evaluating the dependability of peer assessment in project-based learning for pre-clinical students: a generalizability theory approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peer assessment enables students to evaluate peers, deepening their understanding of course objectives and boosting engagement. However, its dependability, especially in summative contexts, is often questioned. This study examines the dependability of peer assessments, and the optimal number of items and raters needed for a reliable assessment in project-based learning (PtBL).

Methods

In a PtBL class, 95 third-year pre-clinical students, grouped into ten teams, created 5-min videos on cardiovascular lifestyle modifications for the community, followed by a 5-min presentation on the video's information and relevance to the citizen. Over three weeks, each group, guided by three advisors, refined their video. During presentations, peers (from nine non-presenting gro
