“…Studies of higher education have recently emphasized the importance of writing skills (Britt et al 2004;Villalón et al 2008;Azilawati et al 2009;Calvo et al 2011;Uto and Ueno 2015). However, beginning learners often find difficulty in learning how to write academic reports by themselves.…”

This paper presents a proposal for system supporting learners in improving their report-writing skills by recommending reports from previous learners. The proposed system recommends reports that share similar subjects but which have different structures, expressions, and originality based on the distributions of words and subjects within the reports, as estimated using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). An important assumption made for this study is that reports with different word distributions tend to include different structures, expressions, and originality when they share similar subjects. Based on that assumption, the system selects and recommends reports that have dissimilar word distributions but which share similar subject distributions with a learner's report. The proposed system is expected to enhance learning of various writing skills from other learners. Finally, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system through actual data experiments.

“…Dentre essas pesquisas, destaca-se Wei et al (2012), que desenvolveu uma abordagem e técnicas para a leitura de e-books; Calvo et al (2011) que propôs um editor de textos com o objetivo de estimular o pensamento crítico dos estudantes; e Nandhini e Balasundaram (2013), que desenvolveram um sumarizador de textos com foco na organização das ideias contidas em um texto. Outra área de pesquisa relacionada ao letramento que traz resultados promissores é aquela que investiga o uso de organizadores gráficos por parte dos estudantes.…”

IntroduçãoA Avaliação Nacional da Alfabetização (ANA) realizada pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) no ano de 2014 apresentou resultados preocupantes nos quesitos relacionados ao letramento dos estudantes brasileiros. De acordo com a avaliação, 22,21% (aproximadamente 1 em cada 5 crianças) do 3º ano do ensino fundamental são capazes de ler apenas palavras isoladas onde há sílabas canônicas. Isso significa que um grande número de estudantes está concluindo a etapa de alfabetização nas escolas sem conseguir ler frases isoladas nem extrair informações de parágrafos ou textos. Além disso, 33,96% dos estudantes avaliados apenas conseguiram encontrar informações explícitas nas frases lidas, não sendo capazes de interpretá-las ou encontrar informações implícitas. Ao todo, mais da metade dos estudantes do terceiro ano é incapaz de ler textos longos ou extrair informações que não estejam explicitamente descritas neles. A ANA também traz resultados preocupantes quanto à capacidade de escrita dos alunos.

“…Web-based collaborative activities, such as web-peer review can help achieving it [12]. Students who come to the University generally have limited capacity to use and apply these skills and they have poor discipline for individual learning, regardless of their prior training area.…”

“…Although, helping engineering students to learn how to write and communicate efficiently offers many challenges [19], in a context where writing and collaborative skills PAPER COME TOGETHER: PEER REVIEW WITH ENERGY ENGINEERING STUDENTS should be promoted [19] [11] [12], in particular in the engineering curricula [8] [10], the implementation of the cycle involved in giving/receiving/using feedback can be considered an adequate strategy to provide students with a meaningful learning experience.…”

“…According to some authors online collaborative environments can help the development and acquisition of communication skills presented in the engineering curricula [11] [12]. Peer review activities can therefore be developed in an on-line environment, but the learning process may reveal a greater degree of complexity when compared with that performed in the classroom [4].…”

Abstract-Based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of collected data, this work examines energy engineering students' perceptions towards web-based peer assessment, distinguishing their role as reviewers and as feedback receivers. It analyses the type of feedback in an attempt to evaluate students' written communication skills and identifies which factors are related to students' use and appreciation of feedback. Taking in account the conclusions of our previous case-study in the civil engineering course at University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD, Vila Real, Portugal) the results of this study allow us to deepen the reflexion on how to improve the design and implementation of future web-based peer assessment tasks in engineering courses.
