“…Borman and Ramirez (1975): in a graduate counselling practicum, students' higher ratings contributed to significant differences on two of the three sub-scales on the measuring instrument. Stover (1976): in an undergraduate law course the average difference between teacher and student was 2.68 to 3.32. Larson (1978): in undergraduate thermodynamics and fluid mechanics 19.8070 of student grades reduced, 9.8~ student grade increased.…”

Student self-assessment occurs when learners make judgements about aspects of their own performance. This paper focuses on one aspect of quantitative self-assessments: the comparison of student-generated marks with those generated by teachers. Studies including such comparisons in the context of higher education courses are reviewed and the following questions are addressed: (i) do students tend to over-or under-rate themselves vis-a-vis teachers?, (ii) do students of different abilities have the same tendencies?, (iii) do students in different kinds or levels of course tend to under-or over-rate themselves?, (iv) do students improve their ability to rate themselves over time or with practice?, (v) are the same tendencies evident when self-marks are used for formal assessment purposes?, and (vi) are there gender differences in self-rating? The paper also discusses methodological issues in studies of this type and makes recommendations concerning the analysis and presentation of information.

“…However, in those cases where student marks appear to count (Burke, 1969;Filene, 1969;Stanton, 1978;Stover, 1976;McGeever, 1978;Davis and Rand, 1980;Cowan, 1988), students tend to overrate themselves except for Stanton's 1978 graduates andCowan's 1988 undergraduate civil engineers. 6.…”

“…The concerns with the validity of peer evaluations usually loom large in the collaborative learning. Working in the teams, student raters tend to evaluate the perceived academic ability rather than teamwork skills, and actual amount of work done rather than the builtin value of that labor (Stover 1976). The arrangements of peer evaluation exercise in this experiment discount this type of concerns with the validity of peer evaluations.…”

The competent physician pursues lifelong learning through the recognition of deficiencies and the formulation of appropriate learning goals. Despite the accepted theoretical value of self-assessment, studies have consistently shown that the accuracy of self-assessment is poor. This paper examines the methodological issues that plague the measurement of self-assessment ability and presents several strategies that address these methodological problems within the current paradigm. In addition, the article proposes an alternative conceptualization of self-assessment and describes its associated methods. The conclusions of prior research in this domain must be re-examined in light of the common pitfalls encountered in the design of the studies and the analyses of the data. Future efforts to elucidate self-assessment phenomena need to consider the implications of this review.
