method, the students are asked to assess or judge their classmates’ behavior. It can be used to assess

approaches of obtaining peer rating: the guess-who approach and the sociometric approach. In the
guess-who approach, students are asked to write the name/s of their classmate/s who is described in
the form.

Guess-Who Form

Direction: Write the name/s of your classmate/s who is described in the following questions. Your
answer must remain confidential. No other students shall see your answer. Student/s can be named
more than once in each category.

2. Which student is concerned more about other?
3. Who asks much help about his/her assignment?
4. Which student is willing to cooperate with others?

On the other hand, sociometric approach is used to assess social structure of the class and interaction
patterns among the students (McMillan, 2001). Using this approach , it allows the teacher to learn about
the social acceptance and the liking patterns of the students. The results can be utilized in identifying
small groups of students, cliques , popular students , and social isolates.
