Self-Assessment: Reflections from Students and Teachers

What is student-centered student self-assessment? What does it look like in the classroom? Do students and teachers find it useful and effective? Watch as students and teachers from IS 223 (Brooklyn, NY) explain self-assessment and reflect on their experiences using self-assessment in the classroom.

I agree with the student that it is easier to give constructive criticism to himself rather than take it from someone else. According to the video, self-assessments can help the students to learn more, earn better grades and receive higher test scores. The video suggests how students and teachers can create the optimum classroom conditions. Some of those conditions are establishing clear criteria with a rubric checklist, supporting assessments through those criteria, and setting aside the time for the students to revise and make corrections. Knowing what requirements will be graded helps the students to cater their work to the requirements.
Some examples of how to do a self-assessment were presented. One suggestion is the colored pencil technique. Use the colored pencil to underline keywords of a component of the requirement on the rubric, then look for evidence of meeting that standard and underline it with the same color. Once assessment is complete allow the students the time to make corrections. The students in the video believed the assessment made their writing better. The teachers believe the self-assessment encourages independent learners. The assessments create a practical method of helping students identify strengths and weaknesses in their own work and make corrections accordingly.

Self assessment peer assessment

Why it's called peer assessment

[@Iyadkay]

Peer assessment is a different strategy altogether. However, one could argue that it is a derivation of self-assessment. Think of it this way: A learner becomes empowered with the metacognition through self-assessment. Armed with the skills, they can assess and give feedback to a peer.
