INTRODUCTIONGroup 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.

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

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.
