Self+Assessment

Self assessment is the ability of a student to observe, analyze, and judge his/her performance on the basis of criteria and determine how he/she can improve it. //from// [|//http://depts.alverno.edu/saal/selfassess.html//] Self assessment can be both formative and/or summative. The formative self assessment "forms" the improvement of ones own learning goals and outcomes. The summative self assessment is used to judge or "sum up" an individual's academic achievement.

Why self assess? Self assessment empowers students to look internally at their own knowledge and skill base. Metacognition engagement of students requires the internalization of quality assurance of tasks performed. Students that self assess become responsible for their own learning. Furthermore, and most importantly, lifelong learning results from determining ones placement in relation to the standards set.
