Does anonymous peer feedback improve individual and collective learning? Evidence from a peer learning pedagogical experiment

Keywords: Peer Learning, Peer Assessment, Collective Learning

Abstract: The peer learning experiment aims to help faculty to design peer learning component that integrates learning from anonymous peer feedback on individual case analysis through a learning management system and learning from face-to-face team case analysis conducted in a proctored setting. The treatment group output (353 students) was compared with control group output (124 students) which did not receive anonymous peer feedback but only analyzed the case in a proctored face-to-face team setting. The results show that anonymous peer feedback not only reduces free raider behavior among students but also has a significant impact on individual and collective learning.
