Project description
Studies show a decline in youths’ academic performance and interest in STEM subjects. Computersupported inquiry-based learning can address this. While students need guidance during inquiry, the role of peers as a source of support is currently understudied. This research project explores under which conditions peer assessment, as a specific source of support, produces the best learning outcomes.
