Abstract
This study investigates peer assessment in teacher education with a focus on the interactive organisation of such activities. As part of teacher education, peer assessment is not only used in teaching and learning of subjectmatter, but can also serve as a learning exercisewhere assessment competences are taught and attended to. In peer assessment, students engage in educational activities under conditions that differ from other classroom interaction: while participating in the activities as students, they are at the same time involved in teaching and assessing their peers — activities commonly associated with teachers. Studying this kind of educational activity places a focus on participation and interactional positions: to what extent are students able to participate in this kind of activity as teachers and in what ways do they orient towards their positions as students? The analyses show a multi-dimensional interactive organisation with both dynamic and static components. Interactional arrangements with shifting participation frameworks and changing interactive positions are at work simultaneously as a more stable organisational pattern related to educational interaction.
