Learning Activities Used

Self Assessment

Multilevel assessment to stimulate deeper learning

In this activity

This activity is best implemented at the end of a course or learning journey to encourage students to reflect on their growth and learning.
Self-assessment criteria, paired with open-ended responses, are included to promote meaningful personal reflection rather than relying solely on quantitative scoring.
The criteria emphasize changes in motivation over time and the role of self-reflection and peer feedback in shaping understanding, with flexibility to expand or adapt as needed.
