Peer and Self-assessment

Peer- and self-assessment are key skills because they enable students to self-monitor and self-regulate learning. These approaches help students make judgments with regard to their peer’s and their own standard of work. This helps students engage with expectations of quality for specific pieces of work and begin to understand the processes of assessment that teachers use. While peer- and self-assessment can save the teacher time in marking, considerable time is required to train students in these techniques. In some instances, this approach is used formatively to guide future learning, while in others it is used as an alternative to summative assessment.
