What Happens When Students Take Part in Their Own Assessment.
D'Urso, Joyce Hofer
Teaching and Change, v4 n1 p5-19 Fall 1996
A second-grade teacher helped her students improve self-confidence and self-esteem by making them active in their assessment. Using cooperative learning, portfolio assessment, surveys, and interviews, she examined whether students could assess their own abilities and improve classwork. Students gained pride in their work and participated more positively in class. (SM)
