3. INTRODUCTION
Group work can be more successful when students are
involved in developing the evaluation process. This may
include establishing their own evaluation criteria through
consultation with teaching staff.
4. AIMS OF SELF AND PEER EVALUATION
• Increase student responsibility and autonomy
• Strive for a more advanced and deeper understanding of the subject
matter, skills and processes
• lift the role and status of the student from passive learner to active leaner
and assessor
(this also encourages a deeper approach to learning)
• involve students in critical reflection
• develop in students a better understanding of their own subjectivity and
judgment
5. SELF EVALUATION
Self-evaluation is a process which deals with the value of
self confidence. We should be aware of the fact that
working alone has its own value and importance though it
is often underrated. It is linked with introspection, self-
discovery and self-realization.
6. Cont..
Learner evaluate himself in various forms, journalizing, taking
tests, writing revisions of work, asking questions, and through
discussions.
When students evaluate themselves, they are assessing what
they know, do not know, and what they would like to know.
They begin to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses.
They become more familiar with their own beliefs, and possibly
their misconceptions.
After they self-evaluate they will be able to set goals that they
feel they can attain with the new knowledge they have about
themselves.
7. Advantages:
Self-evaluation is the first essential step in any evaluation process.
It is an expected part of student professional performance and can provide
information useful for planning and student improvement.
It helps teacher also to write evaluating various aspects of the performance
indicating their strength and weakness.
It helps the teacher to get an opportunity to think, reflect and write down the
lack points.
It helps the students to get a better idea of the goals that they are trying to
reach.
Students can take responsibility for their own learning.
student get a chance to predict their main targets for the coming year and think
about their career advancement.
8. Disadvantages
Teacher feed back: Students can be undecided or if
they haven’t received enough feedback from the teacher,
they may have doubts regarding to the progress
Consciousness: Students need to have a very high
degree of consciousness, so they can be able to analyze
the errors that they have made.
Format based plan : Self-assessment can be very time
consuming, so as teachers we have to plan it before and
write an adequate format, so it doesn’t take students too
long to answer it, and so it is easy to check.
10. PEER EVALUATION
Students individually evaluated each other's contribution
using a predetermined list of criteria or may be evaluated
by teacher also.
Grading is based on a predetermined process, but most
commonly it is an average of the marks awarded by
members of the group
11. Advantages:
• Encourages student involvement and responsibility.
• Encourages students to reflect on their role and
contribution to the process of the group Work.
• Focuses on the development of student’s judgment
skills.
• Students are involved in the process and are encouraged
to take part ownership of this Process.
12. Cont..
• Provides more relevant feedback to students as it is
generated by their peers.
• It is considered fair by some students, because each
student is judged on their own Contribution.
• When operating successfully can reduce a lecturer's
marking load.
• Can help reduce the ‘free rider’ problem as students are
aware that their contribution will be graded by their peers.
13. Disadvantages:
• Additional time can increase a lecturer’s workload.
• Students will have a tendency to award everyone the
same mark.
• Students feel ill equipped to undertake the assessment.
• Students may be reluctant to make judgments regarding
their peers.
• At the other extreme students may be discriminated
against if students ‘gang up’ against one group member.
