Evolving tools of self-assessment
Self-assessment is an important skill to learn so that students can themselves assess their academic work and performance. A lot of research has been done on students’ self-assessment skills and it has been found that high-achieving students tend to underestimate their ability while low-achieving students overestimate their ability. The teachers must guide students on how to develop self-assessment skills, individually and in groups. Self-assessment can help a student discover her/his limitations in dealing with course requirements and drives her/him to go for appropriate measures to improve work and performance.
