150 students self assessment insights across disciplines and time

How do students feel about your class? Is your classroom a comfortable space for learning? Are your teaching methods successful? These questions are central for most graduate students, instructors and teachers, but never have a straight-forward answer. The goal of this workshop is to shed some light on them by presenting the information gathered in a cross-disciplinary questionnaire throughout the Fall 2021. We have collected and analyzed the thoughts and reflections on pedagogical dynamics, assessment methods, and inclusion strategies of 150 students from the Math, Computer Science, Theatre and Dance, and Spanish and Portuguese Departments.

The results reveal which instructional strategies, evaluation methods and inclusive practices work best for students in general and in their specific contexts. So, no matter what discipline you belong to, this workshop will help you to better understand your students’ motivations and feelings. Please register to receive the Zoom link.

The Power of Student Self-Assessment: Student self-assessment is a transformative educational strategy that empowers learners to evaluate their own progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. Unlike traditional teacher-led assessments, self-assessment encourages students to take ownership of their learning journey. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the power of student self-assessment, its benefits, practical strategies, real-world examples, and the latest trends shaping education in 2024. Student self-assessment is a process where learners reflect on their own work, measure it against predefined criteria, and identify ways to improve. It shifts the focus from teacher-centered evaluation to student-driven learning. Research shows that students who engage in self-assessment:✅ Develop deeper understanding of subjects✅ Become more motivated and independent✅ Perform better in exams & assignments

A study by Black & Wiliam (1998) found that self-assessment improves learning outcomes by 15-30%. You have full access to this open access article Students are the central agent in self-assessment; therefore, their perceptions are crucial for successful self-assessment. Despite the increasing number of empirical studies exploring how students perceive self-assessment, systematic reviews synthesising students’ perceptions of self-assessment and relating them to self-assessment implementation are scarce. This review covered 44 eligible studies and synthesised findings related to two key aspects of students’ perceptions of self-assessment: (1) usefulness of self-assessment; and (2) factors influencing their implementation of self-assessment. The results revealed inconclusive findings regarding students’ perceived usefulness of self-assessment.

Although most studies reported a generally positive perception of self-assessment among students, some studies revealed students’ skepticism about its usefulness. Usefulness was influenced by specific individual factors (i.e., gender, age, and educational level) and instructional factors (i.e., external feedback, use of instruments, and self-assessment purpose). Additionally, implementation was influenced by specific individual factors (i.e., perceived usefulness, affective attitude, self-efficacy, important others, and psychological safety) and instructional factors (i.e., practice and training, external feedback, use of instruments, and environmental support). The findings of this review contribute to a better understanding of students’ perceptions of self-assessment and shed light on the design and implementation of meaningful self-assessment activities that cater to students’ learning needs. Avoid common mistakes on your manuscript. Self-assessment has drawn increasing interest among researchers and practitioners due to its potential in promoting learning (Andrade, 2019; Brown & Harris, 2013).

The positive impact of self-assessment on both academic performance (e.g., Brown & Harris, 2013; Topping, 2003; Yan et al., 2022) and affective outcomes (e.g., Panadero et al., 2017; Zhan et al., 2023; Sitzmann et... Despite the generally positive impact, findings of meta-analyses (e.g., Brown & Harris, 2013; Yan et al., 2022) suggest that the self-assessment process is complex and its impact on student performance varies across contexts. As self-assessment is a student-directed process, students’ perceptions of self-assessment play a crucial role in its implementation and influence its effect. Although there are an increasing number of empirical studies exploring how students perceive self-assessment, to our knowledge, there is no systematic review on this topic. Thus, this review has aimed to synthesise the findings on two key aspects of the students’ perceptions of self-assessment: usefulness and factors influencing implementation. A nuanced understanding of these aspects is critical to guide the design and implementation of self-assessment in future research and practice.

The pedagogical insights generated from the synthesis can be used by researchers and practitioners to increase students’ engagement in self-assessment and maximise its positive impact. This article first outlines the conceptualisation of self-assessment and the critical role of students’ perceptions in their self-assessment practices, then discusses the limitations of existing reviews. Next, methods applied in this review are described, and results are reported against the research questions. The article concludes by discussing implications for educational research and practice. There are diversified descriptions of self-assessment in the literature (e.g., Andrade, 2019). Panadero et al.

(2016) defined self-assessment as “a wide variety of mechanisms and techniques through which students describe (i.e., assess) and possibly assign merit or worth to (i.e., evaluate) the qualities of their own learning processes and... 804). This definition was adopted in the current review as it covered a broad spectrum of self-assessment implementation. Self-assessment can be as simple as “guessing a grade”, or can be a complicated process during which, students engage in different actions, such as determining standards and/or criteria, seeking feedback information, reflecting on one’s...
