Self-Assessment in Classroom Evaluation

This article examines the differences between conventional testing and self-assessment in the classroom. It finds that self-assessment plus teacher assessment yields better results than self-assessment alone. However, for self-assessment to be successful, teachers and students must agree on the process and students need practice with self-evaluation. While self-assessment allows for different learning experiences, teachers may fear grade exaggeration, students making mistakes, a lack of understanding of rubrics, or a loss of control. The article suggests developing criteria together, identifying common themes, and creating evidence-based portfolios to address these concerns.

Potential relevance to This article is relevant to my research topic because it acknowledges the fears I
your research topic have in my pre-implementation of self-assessment in an elementary classroom.
and study: Having always used post-evaluations, my fears of students misunderstanding a
rubric or exaggerating a grade are completely valid. However, the article cites
ideas such as developing rubrics together and beginning implementation as a
self plus teacher assessment to combat those fears in the classroom.
