Objective of the Learning Engagement:
For a High -Quality learning and teaching -developing ATL skill-Students will develop their Approaches to Learning (ATL) communication skills by engaging in peer assessment, where they will practice giving and receiving meaningful feedback. This process will help them reflect on their own understanding, improve their work based on peer suggestions, and provide constructive feedback to others in a supportive and respectful manner.
Details of the Learning Engagement:
In this learning engagement, students designed a lab report for their investigation on how different materials affect the thermal transfer of an insulated object. As part of the lab report, students formulated a clear research question, proposed a hypothesis, identified the variables, listed the required apparatus, and wrote a step-by-step logical method to conduct the investigation.
Once their reports were completed, each student was assigned a peer’s work to assess. The teacher provided the expected answers and students reviewed the reports, offering corrections and constructive feedback.

Through the process of peer assessment, students not only deepened their understanding of how to structure a scientific investigation but also honed their critical thinking skills by analyzing the work of their peers. By giving and receiving meaningful feedback, they were able to reflect on their own work, recognize areas for improvement, and gain confidence in their scientific communication.
As a teacher, I observed that this engagement provided a valuable opportunity for students to engage deeply with the scientific process. The peer assessment component empowered students to take ownership of their learning, and facilitated quick corrections and enhanced understanding.
