Abstract: Peer review plays an important role in promoting learners' initiative and improving learning effect. According to the characteristics of “database design” experiment, this paper puts forward the idea of applying peer review to experimental evaluation. In this paper, we first analyze the possibility of combining peer review with “database design” experiment. Then we explore the experimental model of “database design” which combines student peer review with teacher peer review, qualitative evaluation with quantitative evaluation, and inter-group evaluation with intra-group evaluation to improve the effect of Database-design experiment. Further, we use these models in “database design” experiment class. Finally, in order to verify the effect of these models, we employ the questionnaire and interview to investigate these models. The results show that this method can stimulate the students' enthusiasm in participating the database design, improve teaching quality and help students to cultivate a sense of innovation.
