How does peer assessment support students’ self-regulation? A case study in online education

The importance of self-regulation as an essential element for lifelong learning calls for the design of learning processes that promote it. In this context, peer assessment, characterised by promoting metacognitive reflection and guiding students in modifying their learning strategies during the pro...
