Ideas on Self Assessment
3:47 PM
Today we discussed different types of assessment, including self assessment. The discussion made me think about self assessment and its limitations. here are a few ideas
- Self Assessment is risky if you don't provide a model to compare the outcome to, or clear criteria for evaluation
- Students might be to hard on themselves, or might be too easy on themselves.
- There is also the concern that a student might really believe that they are carrying out the task correctly, when in fact he or she has not understood the task.
- When using criteria or rubrics, students need to be trained in the use of such tools. They need to be clear on what the criteria means.
My conclusion is that Self Assessment works when you are able to give students a model to compare themselves too.
