Development of self and peer assessment items in web-based cooperative learning

There are various kinds of instructional models for web-based learning. Collaborative learning model is one of the well-known models in web-based learning. Recently, the cooperative learning is given to students in some schools. In cooperative learning, the items for assessing the team members are required in order to evaluate the individual activities for problem solving, and to know the way of objective thinking each student does. Web-based environment is good for cooperative learning. In this paper, as a previous research work of web-based cooperative learning, we propose new assessment items which are based on the outcome D belongs to the set of 11 student learning outcomes design attributed framework developed by ABET EC-2000 and the cognitive categories defined by Bloom's taxonomy. These assessment items consist of self and peer assessment: the self assessment items include the evidence of the students' thought and their own assessment, whereas the peer assessment can give the students the opportunities to participate in their activities enthusiastically, offer interactive individual feedbacks, and develop potential through various experiences.
