| Abstract Title: | Investigating the Mechanisms of Peer Review |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | As a part of a larger study of Writing-to-Learn (WTL) in introductory physics, we present the effects of the Peer Review process on student understanding of Energy Systems. In the Introduction to the Mechanics course at the University of Michigan, we have implemented WTL activities that engage students in writing about physics concepts related to real-world scenarios. In one of our three WTL activities, students were asked to list the entities that would be included in the Energy System of a pumped water storage facility. In our analysis, we looked at both the peer feedback that a student received and the peer work which they read. We have found that the act of reading a peers work has the greatest impact on which entities a student includes in their own Energy System. |
