Self-reflection and Self-assessment

Self-assessment and Self-reflection

Are you sure you want to remove this component?

Self-reflection and self-assessment involves students reviewing their work and reflecting on their learning progress. Providing students with opportunities to self-assess and self-reflect helps them to participate in, and take ownership of their own learning.

When creating a Due Work learning activity, a teacher has the option to enable for the student either self-reflection, self-assessment or both.

  • Self-reflection allows a student the opportunity to reflect on their work with a comment and on a rubric if provided. 
  • Self-assessment gives the student the ability to provide themselves with a grade.

If enabled and completed, a student’s self-reflection and self-assessment may be visible to the parent on their child’s profile page. When creating a Task learning activity, a teacher has the option to allow the Task to be self-assessed.

On this page, you will find the following information:
