Abstract: Student-generated questions and peer-responses can support formative assessment practices through student self-questioning and peer scaffolding So far, the studies on student-generated questions and peer-responses have focused on reading comprehension This study focused on student-generated questions used in the context of the student-based formative e-assessment through peer scaffolding This study's aim was two-fold: Firstly, we wanted to examine whether there was a relationship between the thinking levels exhibited in student-generated questions and the thinking levels exhibited in their corresponding peer-responses Secondly, we wanted to analyse the level of students’ satisfaction with their peers’ responses Using a Bloom’s Taxonomy-based assessment rubric, the student generated-questions and peer-responses were rated following three thinking levels: basic, medium, and high The results show that the thinking levels exhibited in the student-generated questions are not the same as the thinking levels exhibited in their corresponding peer-responses In addition, all students were not immediately satisfied with their peer-responses In the end, we realised that through this exercise, the student-questioners and the student-respondents were respectively engaged in a "meaning-seeking" and "meaning-making" exercise and the longer the time for reaching the consensus, the more this exercise grew stronger and became much more significant
