Self-assessment is a habit of mind that engages one in meta-cognition and reflection. Such reflective behaviour calls for intentionally reviewing our own performance based on criteria that we have internalized. We can think of it as meta-cognition with an evaluative bent
Donham, J. (2010)
Self assessment gives students practice in monitoring an evaluating their own work, a type of self-regulation behaviour that over time can become a valuable life skill
Ozgul, G., & Sullivan, H. (2009).
Self assessment has been associated with moves towards developing greater student autonomy and responsibility in their learning
Lew . N., Alwis, W. M., & Schmidt, H. G. (2010
Self assessment would appear to be an ideal tool to facilitate learning-oriented assessments. It has the capacity to encourage students to take more responsibility for their own learning by requiring them to provide their own feedback, contribute to their own assessment.
Willy K., & Gardner, A. (2010)
