Unfolding collaborative learning assessment literacy: a reflection on current assessment methods in higher education (2020, background): “These biases are known as the ‘reciprocity effect’, which states that the relationship between peers might influence their assessment of their peers (Magin 2001).”
Peer and self‐assessment in the first year of university (2011, background): “(3) Correlations between student assessments and ratings given by academic staff (Cassidy 2007; Falchikov and Goldfinch 2000; Gruppen et al. 1997; Hafner and Hafner 2003; Lejk and Wyvill 2001a, 2001b; Magin 1993, 2001a, 2001b; Magin and Churches 1988; Magin and Helmore 2001).”
Effective peer assessment processes: Research findings and future directions (2010, methodology): “Magin (2001) examined whether reciprocity effects (i.e., lack of fairness in assessing others due to personal relationships) biased PA, and found these effects to be negligible.”
Validity and reliability of scaffolded peer assessment of writing from instructor and student perspectives (2006, background): “However, students and instructors are leery of peer grading schemes (Boud, 1989; Cho & Schunn, in press; Lynch & Golen, 1992; Magin, 2001; Rushton et al., 1993; Stefani, 1994; Swanson, Case, & van der Vlueten, 1991).”
The effects of gender on group work process and achievement: an analysis through self‐ and peer‐assessment (2014, background): “…instruments (Johnson & Smith, 1997; Baker, 2008), reliability of self-ratings (Lejk & Wyvill, 2001; Johnston & Miles, 2004) and peer-ratings (Burke, 1969; Magin, 2001; Ryan et al., 2007), rather than examining students’ group work process through the self- and peer-assessment results.”
Scaffolded writing and rewriting in the discipline: A web-based reciprocal peer review system (2007, background): “Although reciprocal peer reviews recently gain increasing popularity throughout education and training (Magin, 2001), few systematic research in this area has been done to guide the design of this issue except an informally referenced strategy called the maxima strategy.”
Toward Fairness in Assessing Student Groupwork: A Protocol for Peer Evaluation of Individual Contributions (2006, background): “Specifically, the difficulties associated with accurately and fairly assessing individual performance, conflict within work groups, and free riding of individual members are frequently cited problems associated with groupwork (e.g., Abelson & Babcock, 1985; Abson, 1994; Falchikov, 1988; Magin, 2001;”
