Final Thoughts

� Quality of PA improved in the last year

� “…a oportunidade de experimentarmos uma situação real de avaliação pelos pares…”

Lisboa, 18 e 19.07.2013


� “…a oportunidade de experimentarmos uma situação real de avaliação pelos pares…”

� “…Relativamente à avaliação por pares, esta revelou-se uma boa estratégia, tanto nos

momentos em que avaliei como nos que fui avaliada, uma vez que contribui para momentos

auto-reflexivos sobre o trabalho desenvolvido.”

� PA may improve Learning in bLearning contexts but... it needs training

� There are difficulties to manage personal and professional agendas
