“…Actively involving students in using a rubric to self-assess their work, however, has been associated with noticeable improvements in students' work. Research on the effects of student self-assessment covers a wide range of content areas including English writing (Evans, 2001;Hart, 1999;Wilcox, 1997;Yancey, 1998), social studies (Lewbel & Hibbard, 2001), mathematics (Adams, 1998;Ross, Hogaboam-Gray, & Rolheiser, 2002;Stallings & Tascione, 1996), science (Duffrin, Dawes, Hanson, Miyazaki, & Wolfskill, 1998;White & Frederiksen, 1998), and external examinations (MacDonald & Boud, 2003). In each case, students were either engaged in written forms of self-assessment using journals, checklists, and questionnaires; or oral forms of self-assessment, such as interviews and studentteacher conferences.…”
