What our users think of the method:

  • "The teachers were very enthusiastic because they found it valuable to have peer feedback halfway through the course. They also saw that the students were learning more from it. They used their insights from the peer feedback to make their papers better towards the final product."

    Eline Van Hamersveld, onderwijsadviseur aan de Hogeschool Rotterdam Business School

  • "Because students have to weigh the same text multiple times and each time against a different text, they are challenged to dive deeper into the text. They really have to argue why they think something is good or bad, and it’s in those arguments that the feedback lies that they can really work with. Usually I have to ask a lot of questions to achieve that kind of feedback, but Comproved forces them to get there by themselves.

    Lies Van Gasse, docent Creatief Schrijven in het deeltijds kunstonderwijs

  • "The students enjoyed being able to look at many different texts. This way they saw that there is not one right way to a good text, but that there are different ways."

    Janneke van der Loo, Tilburg University

Why comparative judgement?

Formative evaluation has – rightly – gained a more prominent place in evaluation practices. That you can do something with comparative judgement for this type of evaluation, we want you to discover in this guide.

Feedback is a core element of formative evaluation. In this guide, we focus on the principles needed for an effective feedback process. Then we talk about how comparative judgement can help you put these principles into practice. Indeed, comparative judgement creates a lot of learning opportunities.

What are the main benefits of comparative judgement and the Comproved comparing-tool?

Comparative judgement is a powerful way to promote quality awareness among students.

In the comparing tool, we have built in functionalities that promote students' feedback literacy.

The comparing tool supports students in taking follow-up steps in response to the received feedback with an action plan.
