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 selfassessment strategies
