Students' Self-evaluation

All of the above examples require student self-evaluation at some level. The following examples provide some additional specific examples of student self-evaluation.

Example 1:

Description: Self-evaluation incorporated in the PBL process

What teacher does (and when) –

•	Asks students to fill in the self-assessment form after 46 weeks of a PBL course; and
•	Writes the own comment at the end of the form after the students have completed the form

What students do (and when) –

•	Rate themselves on a number of items, for example, communication skill

Teacher’s comments

•	The teacher thought he could assess student performance in a PBL class quite well after with the students after 6 to 8 weeks, so he was able to provide comments to the students about their performance

Example 2:

Description: Pre-workshop and post workshop assessment – an approach for students to self-evaluate their learning from before attending or after attending the course

What teacher does (and when) –

•	Asks students to answer professional questions at the beginning of the course; and
•	Asks students to answer the same professional questions at the end of the course

What students do (and when) –

•	Perform the self-evaluation at an early stage to assess what they knew and what they may not know, and compare after 10 or 13 weeks to see what they have learned
