DEVELOPMENT OF THE SELF-ASSESSMENT CAPACITY AND ITS INFLUENCES UPON HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS’ SCHOOL PERFORMANCES

Abstract

ABSTRACT. As shown by the specialist studies in the field, the perspective built by the young adolescent upon himself/herself is stronger than most value judgments from the exterior. Unfortunately, however, this perspective sometimes includes, to a variable and difficult to establish proportion, elements that are not in accordance to the factual effective state and the student’s actual potential. Considering these premises, we assumed that the development of the selfassessment capacity of the students, by means of a set of methods and techniques including self-grading, controlled self-grading and reciprocal grading will determine the growth of not only the accuracy of the student’s self-evaluation, and selfesteem but also of his performance levels. In conclusion, it can be said that the development of the self-assessment capacity of students induces beneficial effects not only at the level of the objectivity degree or self-esteem, but also regarding the students’ performance level.
