Feedback for learning is a key component of formative assessment, in a sense that the success or failure of such assessment depends considerably on how the feedback is provided and students use of feedback. Present study evidences that regular feedback on students learning leads to considerable gains. Peer assessment is an educational procedures in which students are assigned tasks to act as both reviewers and authors, evaluating the work of their fellow students. In a comprehensive literature review provided bellow on assessment and classroom learning. Psychology as a discipline can exert a direct influence on teachers and researchers. Benefits for assessors and assesses can be categorized into benefits related to knowledge, skills, attitude, performance and behaviour. Knowledge sharing is of great interest of students because it improves performance, promotes learning, and innovation. As every student owes different psychological thinking patters, explaining human behavior in all its complexity is a difficult task. The behavioural beliefs produce a favourable or unfavourable attitude toward other and improvise behavioural control. Through this study, it can be urged that students behaviour for knowledge sharing can be controlled through sophisticated technological development like peer assessment with the help of online assessment tools. For that purpose, peer assessment process need timely changes to become easier for students.
