{{activity|ia| Background reading.|5}} Peer and self-assessment is another AfL strategy that ‘promotes independent learning, communication and support in the classroom.’ (Afl Guidance, p 26). Read the following text that is summarised from the Afl Guidance notes ([[OER4Schools/4.4 Peer and self-assessment/background reading|here]] or see below) You can also listen to the first part of the text: | |||

'''Peer and Self-Assessment''' | |||
Evidence shows that students can learn to be skilled assessors whose feedback and grades are valid and reliable. Peer assessment and self-assessment are much more than learners simply marking their own or each other’s work. To improve learning, self-assessment must engage learners with the quality of their work and help them reflect on how to improve it. Peers can provide valuable feedback so that learners can learn from and support each other. (Assessment Reform Group, 2002) | |||
Peer and self-assessment are useful for classes in which the student-teacher ratio is high. The practical constraints of the teacher’s time within these classes imply that it is difficult for the teachers to give quality feedback to each pupil. In such cases peer and self-assessment help to give every student indications about how their learning can progress. | |||
}} | }} | ||
{{ | |||
{{background| text= | |||
Peer and self-assessment are also useful because they: | |||
* help students develop valuable skills of making and defending judgements | |||
* considerably increase the amount of feedback which students receive on their work, thus increasing motivation | |||
* create a classroom environment in which students take responsibility for their own learning | |||
* engage students in constructive work independently, thereby allowing teachers to help students who need more support | |||
* can be less intimidating than a teacher’s critical comments (when not given using sensitive language) | |||
Two popular means of peer and self-assessment are: | |||
* encouraging students to give formative feedback based on success criteria. These are mainly qualitative in nature and involve looking for evidence for each success criteria in student’s work | |||
* deciding a marking scheme on the basis of which students can give marks to each other. For example, every step of a mathematics problem can carry specific marks, which students can use to assess each other summatively | |||
In this session we focus on the first method of qualitative assessment and feedback. | |||

{{ | {{fup|A}} Update the electronic version of “{{File|My assessment inventory.doc}}”. Open your file from your ‘files area’ on your desktop. Fill it in and save it again. '''We will be self-assessing the inventories at the beginning of the next session''' so ensure that you bring the completed paper inventory (all five rows should now be filled in) to the next session and that the electronic version is up to date. | ||
{{fup|B}} For a topic that you teach this week, try to introduce at least one strategy of peer assessment and one for self-assessment. Record answers to the following questions on the dictaphone: | |||
* Which peer and self-assessment strategy did you try? | |||
* Did you find that it has worked well for you and for your students? | |||
