Self Assessment

ETAP623 : Self Assessment This page last changed on Jan 23, 2008 by wikiadm1. reading.jpg File:Student reading.jpg Teaching students to become metacognitive should be a goal of each and every educator. Students taking responsibility for their own learning by understanding the best methods they need to use to learn, and reflecting on their own work for connections to the criteria for understanding will help students to reach these goals. One way to help teach these skills is to provide assessment opportunities that are to be completed by the student regarding their own work. Self assessments are the technique teachers should embed in their ongoing assessment to help students learn to become metacognitive. It is the hope that as students engage in these behaviors when directed by the teachers they will begin to develop habits that will make them self reflective on their own.Assessments that ask students to reflect on their own work can be in many forms. It is most important that the performance of the assessment give the student an opportunity to reflect on what they have done and if it is connected to what is required. Please watch this short powerpoint to learn the important factors you must consider when planning assessment to encourage student self-assessment.
