Abstract
In recent research of an educational evaluation field, learning involved evaluation is practiced instead of a term-end exam. It is known to executes peer evaluation as a useful evaluation method. However, the more the number of class members increases, the more evaluating all the others becomes difficult. It is necessary to devise a method of selecting the evaluator so that the evaluation is impartial. In this paper, we conducted an experiment to examine whether there is a difference in the evaluation that the learner evaluates one another or not. As a result of the experiment, it was found that in the case of evaluating one another, the evaluation is softer ("reciprocal effect") and farther from teacher's evaluation than the case of evaluating not one another. Then, we developed peer evaluation support system to execute the peer evaluation easily that removed "reciprocal effect". As a result of the assessment of our system by student and teacher, it was confirmed that our system is effective in peer evaluation.
