This study reports on the results of an quantitative research project carried out with a group of students of Year 9 of secondary education in a subsidized school in Chile. The general question addressed by the study is to find out to what extent peer correction is an effective tool to prevent errors and mistakes in learners' writing process. The study followed a pretest- posttest experimental-control group design. The study sample consisted of 16 who were randomly divided into two groups: 8 students were in the experimental group and 8 students for the control group. The experimental group used peer correction to mark errors and mistakes in writing, and the control group were corrected by the teacher, as usual. In both groups a correction code was used and the writing process was determined by a holistic rubric. Findings of the investigation indicate that peer correction is an effective tool to prevent errors and mistakes in learners' writing process, and positively affects students' quality of written compositions.

Resumen
Este estudio informa los resultados de una investigación cuantitativa llevada a cabo con un grupo de estudiantes de Primer año de Educación Media, en un colegio subvencionado en Chile. La pregunta general del estudio está dirigida a investigar hasta qué punto la corrección entre pares es una herramienta efectiva para prevenir errores en el proceso de escritura de los estudiantes. El estudio optó por la aplicación de un pretest y un posttest, con un grupo experimental y uno de control. Los participantes del estudio fueron 16 y divididos al azar en dos grupos: 8 estudiantes para el grupo experimental y 8 para el grupo de control. Mientras que el grupo experimental usó la corrección entre pares para corregir los textos escritos, el grupo de control fue corregido por la profesora. En ambos grupos se usó un código de corrección para corregir los escritos y una rúbrica holística para el proceso de escritura. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la corrección entre pares es una herramienta efectiva para prevenir los errores de los estudiantes en su proceso de escritura la cual tiene un efecto positivo en la calidad del los textos escritos.
