Using Self-assessment for Individual Practice in Math Classes

Classroom Assessment in Mathematics

Abstract

In this paper, the format of the self-diagnosis sheet is presented as a means to help students self-assess their confidence using competencies for individual practice . The reported study investigates evidence of the accuracy of judgments based on self-assessments that were collected throughout a year in a classroom setting. The paper further presents research from classroom assessment, as general theory framework, and educational psychology, which provides the methods for analysing the judgments of self-assessment. First results show an improvement of accuracy and a decline of overestimation after time.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is just a scheme presented, because in the study no rubrics are used. Examples of rubrics can be found under the following links: http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/ieptLibrary/lib04.html and http://gbdsacmath.blogspot.de/2014/03/the-role-of-rubric.html.
