The SAPA (self assessment over peer assessment) is a valuable tool for evaluating how students realistically assess their individual contributions in group projects. It involves comparing the score a student assigns to themselves with the average score given by all other students. In addition to providing insight into student perceptions, the SAPA can also detect any attempts to manipulate or "game" the system.
The SAFA, on the other hand, represents the score a student gives themselves over the average score given by their peers.
| SAPA | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| > 1.0 | Indicates that the student believes they do more in the group assignment / project than their group members think. The student may also be trying to “game” the system to improve their PAF. |
| 1.0 | Student has a realistic judgement of their contribution to the group assignment / project. |
| <1.0 | Indicates the student undervalues their contribution to the group assignment / project. |
Ratio
In addition to comparing a student's self-assigned score with the average score given by their peers, all individual scores assigned to a student are also compared to those assigned by the rest of the group. This comparison is calculated in the same way as the SAPA.
If the ratio is over 1.0, it indicates that Student A values the work of the individual more than the rest of the group. This situation is often common among friends. On the other hand, if the ratio is less than 1.0, it suggests that Student A may have a personal conflict with the individual and undervalues their contribution.
Limit
The limit is utilized to identify groups where members have differing scores assigned to individuals.
This limit is set to highlight groups where there is a deviation from the average (1.0) of the individual SAPAs and Ratios.
By default, the limit is set to 15%. This means that it will highlight groups where the SAPAs and Ratios are greater than 1.15 or less than 0.85.
The highlighted colours deepens based on the number of group members whose SAPAs and Ratios fall outside the set limit.
In summary, SAPA offers a valuable tool for evaluating individual contributions within group projects. It provides students with an opportunity to reflect on their own performance and compare it to the perceptions of their peers. By utilizing this self-assessment over peer assessment approach, educators can gain a deeper understanding of how students view their own contributions and address any discrepancies that may arise.
