Self-judgement and reflection
Overview
- Influence: Self-judgement and reflection
- Domain: Student Learning Strategies
- Sub-Domain: Meta-cognitive/self-regulated learning
- Potential to Accelerate Student Achievement: Potential to considerably accelerate
- Influence Definition: Self-judgement is a critical component of independent, self- directed learning, and yet students can often over- or underestimate their own capabilities. Educational researchers have long advocated that teachers attempt to cultivate in students the ability to dispassionately apply established standards to their own work. Such an ability has gone by several names in academic scholarship: "evaluative knowledge," "evaluative expertise," "sustainable assessment," "informed judgement," or "self-judgement." Yet, throughout this scholarship, researchers have pressed the importance of a student's ability to reflect on his or her work, discern its relationship to established standards, and make self-judgements.
