1 Why self-assessment matters

Self-assessment is not only a way to measure your performance, but also a way to enhance your learning. By reflecting on your own learning process, you can identify what works for you, what challenges you, and what motivates you. Self-assessment can help you set realistic and specific goals, plan your learning strategies, monitor your progress, and adjust your actions accordingly. Self-assessment can also boost your self-esteem, autonomy, and responsibility as a learner.

Self-assessment helps a student understand where he or she stands in any particular domain, be it intellectual, social, mental, or physical. It helps them to know their strong areas and preferences for taking aligned decisions. Weaknesses should not be focused upon, and they will be taken care of if the strong areas are honed and focused upon when taking directions in life. Also, benchmarking can be done and milestones set for development, which can be measured periodically to feel motivated and progress.

Big observation: today, my students all agreed on the idea that it is easier for them to understand spoken African-American vernacular English (AAVE) then it is for them to understand standard English. I currently teach English to adult learners in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We were engaging in a whole class discussion where we were self assessing our understanding of various English dialects. They noted it is easier for them to understand African-American vernacular English because it tends to put more stress on vowel sounds (just as in Arabic) whereas standard English tends to sound more neutral (unlike Arabic). So, I think I’ll incorporate more AAVE especially for students who are struggling - perhaps this is the catalyst that they need.

Adult learners leverage self-assessment tools by setting clear goals, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and tailoring learning strategies. Regular reflection aids in tracking progress, adjusting approaches, and fostering autonomy, leading to effective goal attainment.

In my experience, you have to know where you are before you can figure out where you’re going. It’s a simple current state and future state analysis. When you understand where you are, and where you want to go, you can focus your efforts in a more concerted manner to fill those gaps more efficiently.

2 Types of self-assessment tools

You can use various self-assessment tools to evaluate different aspects of your learning. Checklists are useful for assessing your knowledge, skills, or competencies, while rubrics provide a grid or table to rate yourself according to established criteria. Portfolios are collections of work or evidence that demonstrate your learning achievements, and journals are records of your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and insights related to your learning. All of these tools can help you showcase your skills, identify areas for improvement, and analyze your learning process.

An example of a good assessment tool for technical skills is the Pluralsight skill IQ. The skill IQ can assess the current state of your skills in a certain skill path, and make a recommendation on how to close the gaps and moving you from a novice to an expert.

3 How to choose self-assessment tools

When selecting self-assessment tools, it is important to consider your learning goals, preferences, and context. Ask yourself what you want to achieve with self-assessment and what format you prefer. Additionally, consider how you want to receive feedback on your self-assessment and how often you want to conduct it. For example, do you want to compare your self-assessment with others or receive constructive suggestions? Do you want to do it before, during, or after your learning activities? By taking these factors into account, you can choose the best self-assessment tools for your needs.

One thing I've seen is that it helps them to identify their strengths, weaknesses, area for improvement, develop self-awareness, & self-regulation skills. It's reflection essentially giving the students the process of thinking critically & creatively about their own learning & performance, and how to improve upon those.
