The article examines the significance of the formation of schoolchildren’s ability to self-assess the results of educational activities. Self-assessment is an important component of the educational process, which determines the child’s personality. According to the results of the survey of research participants, it is shown that teachers support the use of self-assessment of learning outcomes by schoolchildren. If the evaluation system is limited only to checking knowledge and skills in the subject, it does not provide an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills, form motivation for learning, and develop the ability of students to objectively evaluate their results. Regarding the negative results of using the student self-assessment method in the educational process, teachers say that students may have difficulties in self-assessment of their learning results and may not be ready for self-determination and self-recognition of their assessment. Attention was paid to students’ understanding of the importance of self-assessment of educational activities. The results of the survey indicate a difference in the views of teachers and students on the formation of the ability to self- assess. Further research can be aimed at developing the internal system of quality assurance in educational institutions, evaluating its effectiveness, using methods of self-assessment of educational and management processes.

The article discusses the use of educational dialogue for the organization of formative assessment and assessment discussions. We are talking about educational dialogue as a teaching method, a kind of interpersonal communication in which experience, relevant knowledge and skills are exchanged. The role of educational dialogue in the organization of formative assessment is to create an educational environment in which students develop the ability to reason and solve problems. The research conducted among teachers and students gives reason to conclude that educational dialogue is used in domestic school practice, but it is not widely used for evaluating learning results. Only a third of the interviewed biology teachers admitted that they use dialogues to evaluate the results of educational activities. Half of the teachers who took part in the study believe that they have enough knowledge and practice to organize the assessment. Educational dialogues involve students' ability to ask questions. This skill demonstrates the student's level of awareness of the educational material and is related to the search and processing of information. However, only a third of teachers agreed that they assess students' ability to formulate questions. Half of the biology teachers believe that in their pedagogical practice there is no assessment of students' ability to ask questions. Most students are also convinced that such practice does not exist at school. The results of the survey indicate a difference in the views of teachers and students on assessment during educational dialogues.
