Abstract

The current research aims to determine the superiority of the two formative evaluation models (teacher/peer) in electronic web editors and their impact on developing research plan writing skills among master's students. A (2 x 1) experimental design was used, which included an independent variable, namely the two formative assessment models in electronic web editors, divided into two levels: the teacher evaluation model and the peer evaluation model, and a dependent variable, which was research plan writing skills. The research tools were a product evaluation card for the scientific research plan. The research sample consisted of 20 male and female students who were divided equally into two groups according to the two formative peer evaluation models and the formative teacher evaluation model. The SPSS program was used to conduct statistical processing based on non-parametric statistics to test the research hypotheses due to the small sample size. The research limits were represented by the scientific research plan writing skills in the research seminar course, the use of the two formative evaluation models (teacher-peer), and master's students majoring in educational technology at the Arab East College for Graduate Studies. The results of the current research indicated that the peer evaluation model is better for developing scientific research plan writing skills.
