Abstract

Students’ online behavioral engagement was an important factor that affected their learning performance, and it was also a prerequisite for deep learning. Studies had confirmed that peer assessment activities provided opportunities for students to participate in the formative assessment process, enhanced the interaction between learners and promoted effective learning. However, online learning was more dependent on the learners themselves, and the attitudes of peer assessment might have a greater impact on the assessment process and learning effect. Based on the "Mobile Learning Theory, Technology and Practice", this research used questionnaire surveys and interviews to explore the impact of MOOC learners’ assessment attitudes on online behavioral engagement. The results found that: (1) MOOC learners recognized peer assessment, and held a positive attitude. They were willing to take the initiative to participate in peer assessment activities (2) The attitude of peer assessment had a significant positive impact on the MOOC learners’ behavioral engagement. The more positive the attitude was, the more they were willing to spend time and energy on learning. In the end, the study put forward suggestions for online peer assessment activities from three aspects: potential stimulation, training, and timely regulation.
