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.
 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cont..

•  lack of maturity: Some students are not ready to have a self-

assessment task, mostly because they aren’t aware of the
seriousness or importance of the process.
•  Language : It implies knowledge about language and learning
which most second language learners don’t have.
•  Self-evaluation only works if students have been trained to self-
assess themselves.
• 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
PEERof theEVALUATION
marks awarded by members of the group
 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.
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.
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.
