The benefits of involving students in assessment
- When students are actively involved they can participate in selecting evidence (for example, samples of their work) that best demonstrate the intended learning outcomes.
- The process of assessment develops students’ understanding of the desired outcomes and success criteria.
- Making judgments is closely linked to developing the skills of self and peer-assessment.
- This can lead to shared expectations of learning and understandings of standards between teachers and students.
- Students develop greater confidence in teacher judgments.
- Greater transparency of the assessment process is provided for students.
