Self-generated feedback for critical thinking

Promote self-regulation and autonomy

By taking ownership of their own learning, students are empowered to develop a sense of autonomy and responsibility, as well as the skills of reflective practice and self-monitoring, which are essential competencies for future professional life.

Develop critical and higher-order thinking

When students compare their work to multiple sources, such as peer work, exemplars, and teacher feedback, they’re encouraged to think critically about their choices, assumptions, and reasoning. The act of comparison requires them to evaluate not only their own performance but also the strengths and weaknesses of other perspectives, fostering deeper learning and understanding.

Relieve of assessment loads

The instructors take on the role of facilitators and moderators of assessment in collaboration with students, which helps to form meaningful interactions and a supportive learning community. By letting the learners take charge of their own learning, instructors can be relieved of heavy assessment loads.
