SELF-ASSESSMENT: THREAT OR PROMISE?

Abstract

The paper reports on the results of an investigation into attitudes towards self-assessment of Malaysian pre- and in- service trainees at a UK Institute (Moray House). Trainees were invited to take part in a self assessment exercise, where they tried to assess their own B.Ed dissertations, identifying strengths and weaknesses. The results of this exercise are discussed and the implications for self-assessment projects explored in the light of' the 'reflective practitioner' model of teacher behaviour.
