Details This presentation reports on a study that used multifaceted Rasch analysis to investigate how first-year Japanese university students apply peer assessment and self-assessment to oral presentations. Preliminary results showed significant correlations between peer assessments, self-assessments, and teacher assessments, suggesting that peer and self-assessment can serve as useful learning tools in presentation courses.
