The higher learning institutions in Malaysia are changing rapidly as most of the institutions take account of a number of major external factors such as soft skills. One of the essential soft skills among undergraduates that need to be assessed is teamwork. In the learning process, team work is often a crucial part where students learn to work together using their individual skills despite any personal conflict. This team work can be evaluated through the peer evaluation assessment method. Currently, this peer evaluation had been done by using the manual form that needed to be filled by students in relation to the performance of their group members. The manual peer evaluation method does not reflect the true performance of their peers because when the forms are submitted to the lecturer, everyone can see the marks given by the others. Due to this, the students will tend to give a biased assessment on the performance of their peers because they do not want to hurt the feelings of others by giving a low assessment score. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to discuss the development of an online self-assessment system or otherwise known as the e-PRS. The objective of e-PRS is to provide a non-bias platform for students to evaluate their group members on a fair basis and to ease the process of grading by lecturers. The e-PRS is the acronym for ‘Elektronik’, ‘Penilaian’, ‘Rakan’, ‘Sebaya’ which is an online evaluation system to assess soft skills. Therefore this online evaluation system has the potential to be widely used by all higher learning institutions in Malaysia. It is hoped that the development of e-PRS as an online peer evaluation assessment can enable students to honestly evaluate their peers under complete anonymity because it is an online-based assessment system whereby only the lecturers will see the marks given by the students on the performance of their peers and will contribute to a sustainable learning environment due to its paperless nature. |
