Variation in Students' Conceptions of Self-Assessment and Standards

الملخص EN

This paper reports the results of a phenomenographic study on the different ways that secondary students understood and utilized student self-assessment and how various ego types could affect the accuracy of self-assessment.

The study sought to contribute to the growing literature which recognizes the critical role that students play in assessment processes, and in particular the different roles that they assume in student self-assessment.

The results of the study provide insights into how different students experience self-assessment by articulating the variation in the perception and purposes of assessing one's own learning.

This variation is depicted as a hierarchy of logically related students' conceptions of self-assessment.
