SELF-ASSESSMENT
ADVANTAGES
Self assessment can provide us useful information about students’ expectations and needs, their problems and worries, how they feel about their own progress, their reactions to the materials and methods being used, what they think about the course in general.
The most important benefits about self-assessment are related to its impacts on learning. Self assessment is an integral part of learning. To learn anything we need to assess what we know already and how we can improve.
Self assessment helps learners to think about their own progress and problems and then to find ways of changing, adapting and improving.
Classroom survey: past learning experiences
Even if students come from similar learning backgrounds it can be useful to get them to recall previous learning experiences. As well as reminding students of their past learning experiences the feedback from students can give us useful information to help our own planning.
DISADVANTAGES
I think that some of the disadvantages in self-assessing are that sometimes the students don’t really answer what they think, feel or have learnt during the course, because they might feel embarrassed in front of the teacher or may believe that the teacher is going to judge them or evaluate them differently.
Or on the other hand students don’t really care on what they answer in their self-assessment, they just answer anything just to finish with the assessment.
That maybe they have the abilities but is some cases they don’t grade very well in certain activities so they start to doubt in their learning process.
