Self-Assessment

Self-Assessment

The aim is to encourage the students to develop their ability for active reflection in the learning process.

1. The teacher and/or the students create evaluation criteria and a checklist.  The teacher could use the evaluation criteria used by The Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship.
2. The students are organised into their project groups - Group A and Group B - each prepare presentations for their challenges. Group A present their idea to Group B who evaluate the ideas in their presentation. Group B gives constructive verbal feedback completing the checklist and giving a grade for the project.
3. The roles are reversed with Group B presenting and Group A evaluating.
4. The Groups then collate all the feedback and discuss it to develop strategies to implement suggestions for their projects.
5. The activity can be repeated with new pairs of groups if necessary.

It would be helpful if self-assessment was supplemented by some of the criteria evaluation forms described above, as this would provide students with relevant feedback in addition to that which they have gathered during this activity. This activity can be extended with the addition of external co-workers in the evaluation process.

The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
