I used to dread self- and peer assessment because I was not confident enough that I was doing everything right amd giving the fair grades to myself or to my peer.
However, a clear criteria and easy-to-understand descriptions in rubrics help me become more confident with my evaluation. At least, the rubrics take away self-doubt. With rubrics, I have a clear basis of my assessment–which makes it valid and credible.
Learning from this module, I have realized that self- and peer assessment is very valuable to a learner’s growth and maturity. Such assessments help learners become independent, self-directed, and life long learners. And, this is what I envision for my learners–that they become better learners who are independent, self-directed, and life long learners. (Repetition for emphasis purposes.)
