Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes Randall Johnson's article, "Peer Assessments in Physical Education." The paper discusses the issue of peer assessment and explains how this could be beneficial in the physical education class. It also describes some potentially negative outcomes of conducting peer assessments and the benefits of other forms of assessment to compliment the peer assessments.

From the Paper:

"Student involvement and reflection are vital parts of learning development, to optimize the student experience, especially during the secondary and tertiary phases of education. It is therefore the educator's responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that students enjoy their educational experiences as much as possible. Indeed, enjoyment is one of the elements that enhances the success of the learning process. In physical education, peer assessment is one of the ways to increase student performance and involvement in a class set-up that otherwise might result in students "vanishing" behind the better performers. With peer assessment, each student is provided with an equal chance for performing their best and improving themselves."
