Title A name given to the resource PEER ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE ROADMAP FOR DEVELOPING EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS IN POTENTIAL JOB SEEKERS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PAUL MUPA OWENCE CHABAYA CHRISPEN CHIOME RAPHINOS ALEXANDER CHABAYA Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Description An account of the resource The focus of the study was on the assessment of students’ attitudes towards both being assessed by and assessing other students’ work.Concerns about graduate employment issues, the world over, suggest that employers are concerned by the lack of employability skills exhibited by entry-level job applications. It is also suggested that employers consider it the responsibility of higher education institutions to develop and sharpen such skills. The current study seeks to identify peer assessment as a potential strategy for developing employability skills and aims to examine, from a students’ perspective, the process of introducing peer assessment into higher education teaching programmes. Data were gathered from a sample of undergraduate students following a semi-structured interview. The study found that students expressed a positive attitude towards peer assessment but had concerns relating to their capability to assess peers and to the responsibility associated with assessing peers. Students felt that peer assessment would raise standards in higher education and equip graduates with the needed employability skills. The study recommends that peer assessment should be adopted as regular practice on undergraduate programmes wishing to equip students with a complete repertoire of employment-relevant skills Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International J.
