Guidelines

In this step we will take into consideration not the traditional evaluation process, but all the activities useful to create consciousness in the student.
Students must become aware of their abilities and limitations, assess their strengths and weaknesses in the learning process, understand their motivations to achieve a qualification, or a diploma. In the activity of self-assessment the student must engage the class group, in order to understand how the others perceive him/her, and in order to understand how his/her “self” is lived by their mates, as well as by the teacher. The students, especially in the European context, must often compare their skills. To identify a situation of risk the students themselves can be called for a self evaluation, not only of general skills or key competences, but also as far as their learning style, motivation and methods are concerned. It is also important that students have a clear vision of the assessment system, so as to avoid the loss of self-esteem.
