The didactic evaluation represents one of the most important components of the teaching / learning process, that can offer professors the image of the level in which their students acquire the knowledge they were taught. In the present paper, we are planning to describe the status and role of self-evaluation in student assessment and a possible way to implement this activity. The sample of research was composed from 116 students attending the initial training in didactic career from University of Oradea Romania, who should anticipate the mark that they estimate to obtain at Pedagogy exam, before and over to solve the task that two marks were compared with the one accorded by the teacher. The results showed that many students sub-evaluate themselves. It is recommended to identify some possibilities to improve the capacity of students for realistic self-evaluation.
