1. Read instructions: Carefully go through the provided instructions to understand the requirements of this self-assessment activity. Pay attention to any specific guidelines or criteria mentioned by the instructor.
2. Review your own skills: Evaluate your own skills based on the criteria and rubrics set by the instructor. Reflect on your performance in various areas, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This step is designed to help you become more aware of your own capabilities and to promote self-regulated learning.
3. Read received feedback: Review the feedback provided by your instructor. Reflect on their comments to understand how your self-assessment compares to their evaluation. Use this feedback to make any necessary adjustments and to further develop your skills.
Student reflection and assessment of their own abilities is crucial to their development. When students self-assess they are able to identify the discrepancies between their current and desired performance. Allowing them to better set goals, and engage in strong self-regulatory processes.
In this activity:
Guided Learning Experience: The goal is to give students a scaffolded learning experience. As an educator, you can provide guiding instructions throughout the activity and attach criteria that students should anchor their assessment to. Providing several of these low-stake moments throughout a course may help keep students engaged and familiarize themselves with the assessment criteria, leaving them ready for high-stake moments.
Monitoring Performance: If your goal is to create moments throughout the course where students reflect, monitor their performance, and self-assess either more openly or on a specific set of criteria, this template is a great starting point.
