Effects of high level prompts and peer assessment on learner reflection in a web-based learning environment

In recent years, E-learning has become more and more popular, and reflection is one of the most important factors that affect learning. Therefore, the issue on how to motivate learners to reflect on web-based learning is worth discussing. Our study use high level prompts and peer assessment to investigate how these two factors influence learners¡¦ reflection level, reflection attitude, and reflection intention. 157 college students were asked to use the system designed in this research, and the experimental learning subject was biology. Fourteen learning situations are presented in this research according to the difference of high level prompts (giving/not giving prompts), peer assessment (no peer assessment, peer observation, and peer feedback), observation (high quality/low quality observation), feedback (positive/negative feedback). The learners were randomly assigned to one situation. The result showed that giving high level prompts and high quality observation can improve learners¡¦ reflection level. If a learner is only given high quality observation, though not given high level prompts, his reflection level is still equal to the one who is given high level prompts but not given high quality observation. The result also showed that if a learner receives positive feedback, his reflection attitude and reflection intention will be higher than the one who receives negative feedback.
