Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 1 views

frame self-assessment as an opportunity for students to reflect on their own work with the goal of learning more, making the work better, and thereby improving the chances for a good grade. In this paradigm, self-assessment is not the same as self-grading.

parkerv on 17 Apr 20I like this way of framing self-assessment as it involves the students in doing some of the heavy lifting, thinking about their work and how they might improve, which helps them develop skills critical for many careers. The partnership created when student insights are used in conjunction with instructor assessments can lead to a much richer experience and deeper learning for the student.

students reported that their ability to self-assess depended on knowing what the teacher expected

We have read in other articles how important clear expectations are for this process to work and others have stressed the advantages of involving the students in the creation of those expectations via rubrics or checklists. I would hope that student participation in this way would help move students thinking away from just what "teachers" expect to thinking more along the lines of what do "I" or "we" expect.

my preferred approach. I believe the learner will benefit far more by completing a self evaluation (that is well crafted to include focused self reflection questions) that forces him or her, to examine how he or she contributed [or did not] to the group process. The tool also encourages the student to consider actions that he or she demonstrated to support the team and to estimate what percentage of the work he or she contributed to the project.

I would probably lean more towards this approach also as it challenges each person to honestly assess their own contributions and forcing them to put it into a percentage makes it more apparent if there is need for improvement. I am not sure "slackers" would be that motivated to change by a low assessment by their peers.
