Online self and peer assessment of team work in accounting education

---

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to describe and evaluate the implementation of an online self
and peer assessment model (SPARKPLUS) to assess team work skills of accounting students.
Design/methodology/approach – This study describes the background and implementation of
SPARKPLUS and employs a survey questionnaire administered to students enrolled in an
undergraduate company accounting subject before and after the implementation of the model. The
survey results and selected qualitative data are used to evaluate students’ attitudes to group work and
the impact of SPARKPLUS.
Findings – The study suggests that students understand the benefits of group work activities in
developing their technical knowledge in company accounting. However, students do not appreciate the
value of group work activities in developing generic skills or how SPARKPLUS supports group work
activities.
Practical implications – Professional and accreditation bodies require evidence of teaching and
learning activities and assessment of team work skills during the students’ undergraduate accounting
degree. This study demonstrates that students require significant teaching and learning activities in
relation to team work skills and the assessment model for successful implementation.
Originality/value – This study makes an original contribution to the accounting education
literature pertaining to assessment of team work skills in two respects. First, the study outlines the
design, implementation and preliminary evaluation of an online self and peer assessment model in an
undergraduate company accounting course. Second, preliminary evidence concerning the impact of
this model on group work activities and team work skills is provided.
