ABSTRACT

With the rapid advancement of internet technology, online learning has emerged as a vital avenue for university students to acquire knowledge. Peer assessment, recognized as an effective pedagogical strategy, is extensively implemented in online learning environments. This paper aims to explore the factors influencing the online learning outcomes of university students based on peer assessment. Firstly, it elucidates the definition and principles of peer assessment, analyzing its implementation process and advantages within the online learning context. Secondly, it examines the impact of peer assessment on university students' online learning outcomes from four perspectives: students' educational backgrounds, motivation for learning, the quality of peer assessment, and the guidance and support provided by educators. Subsequently, a research design is established, employing surveys and interviews to empirically analyze the relevant factors affecting the online learning efficacy of students engaged in peer assessment. Finally, the results of the study are used to provide strategic support for faculty online teaching evaluation, which is then used to provide targeted recommendations for online education practices in colleges and universities.
