THE EFFECTS OF SELF-ASSESSMENT ON THE LEARNERS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This study explored the impact of self-assessment and self-directed learning on the student’s achievement. The population of the study was randomly selected from Lahore. And all learners were studying in the third grade classroom. Students were randomly selected. The students were taught a self-assessment strategy as a whole group and it was reinforced in small group English instruction. At the beginning of the year, they were given a fall English test score to determine their baseline in English. During the study, they were given three pretest and posttests, as well as a winter English test to determine their progress. The results indicate that there was a significant change in performance due to being taught self-assessment strategies
