Uso de sistemas de control de versiones para aplicar estrategias de evaluación por pares en contextos tecnológicos[Using Version Control Systems to apply peer review techniques in engineering education]

Different studies have shown that a very positive factor to improve students learning is that they were the center of teaching and learning processes and also to be an active part in them. In this sense, the application of peer review techniques is a very popular approach. However, in engineering education and special in technical degrees the activities to assess consist of the use of very specific tools and languages. This makes peer evaluation more complex in this context than in others. It requires that both teachers and students use different tools and platforms to complete the evaluation. In order to solve this, the present work aims to apply a version control system to facilitate manage different results versions and also to interact with reviewers in the peer review process. In this specific work, the authors present a case study with 46 students that employ a version control system to apply peer review. Results show that students that use properly the tool have better performance.
