Abstract

Nel contesto universitario il principale obiettivo è garantire una didattica innovativa che veda sempre più lo studente come parte attiva nel processo formativo, favorendo il miglioramento degli apprendimenti in termini di conoscenze e di soft skills. L’utilizzo delle tecnologie online permette di supportare ed innovare le lezioni frontali, anche risolvendo i problemi di mancanza di tempo e spazio connessi con la didattica convenzionale. Per raggiungere i suddetti obiettivi, per il secondo anno consecutivo, grazie all’utilizzo delle tecnologie digitali, abbiamo inserito all’interno del percorso laboratoriale online di Genomica l’attività collaborativa di peer assessment, come processo valutativo con funzione formativa. Questa procedura sperimentale è stata interamente condotta online, utilizzando la piattaforma e-learning Moodle. I risultati del presente lavoro si basano sull’analisi qualitativa e quantitativa del processo di peer assessment e di un questionario sulla percezione soggettiva degli studenti relativa a tale attività collaborativa.
