The Importance of Self-Assessment in Learning
Self-assessment is essential for student learning as it empowers students to take ownership of their educational journey. When students can evaluate their own work, they transition from passive recipients of grades to active participants in the learning process. Research shows that students engaged in self-assessment develop greater agency, enhanced metacognitive skills, and improved academic performance. This practice also deepens their understanding of assessment criteria, allowing them to internalize learning standards and ask more constructive questions about their improvement.
