An important question in collaborative learning research is the extent to which students learn through giving versus receiving assistance from peers. This question was investigated through analysis of web-mediated peer review by undergraduates in an introductory science course. After conducting toxicology experiments, 77 students posted draft research reports and exchanged double-blind reviews. Their experiences provided the basis for testing two hypotheses: (1) Improvement between draft and final research reports is greater for students who engage in peer review than for those who review their own draft manuscripts, and (2) Students benefit more from giving than receiving peer reviews. Two studies were conducted. In the first, students were randomly assigned to four treatment groups representing self review, full peer review, and confinement to only giving or only receiving reviews. Contrast analysis was used to test the significance of differences among treatment groups in terms of the numbers of revisions made between draft and final versions of research reports. In the second study, the same students conducted a second round of experiments and engaged in the full peer review process. Through linear regression and path analysis, the influence of giving versus receiving reviews was investigated. Results supported the first hypothesis; students who engaged in any aspect of peer review made more improvements to their draft reports than did those limited to self review. The students expressed widespread support for their peer review experience, stating for example that it had increased their motivation, helped to improve their writing, and provided both positive and negative exemplars to apply to their own work. Contrary to predictions based on collaborative learning theory, the second hypothesis was not supported. In both studies, receiving reviews was more significant than writing reviews in triggering revision of students' research reports. Student perceptions corroborated this empirical finding; 70% reported that their revisions had been influenced more by reviews received than by ideas developed through reviewing work of their peers. Further research is needed to investigate whether this finding holds true in systems that are designed to promote higher level learning and that incorporate more heterogeneous student groups.
