A Comparison of Self-Assessment and Tutor Assessment of Undergraduate Psychology Students

Abstract: The capacity for self-assessment amongst undergraduate psychology students (N = 64) was investigated in comparison to tutor assessments. Students were able to assess their own performance reasonably and accurately. However, higher achieving students underestimated their performance, while the opposite was found for lower achieving students. These results reflect the characteristics of self-enhancement and self-diminishment bias.

“…One reason for this finding is that the teachers felt that students have the tendency to overestimate or underestimate their performance relative to their assessment. This observation is confirmed by several previous studies (Barrot 2015d, Brown & Hudson 1998, Cassidy 2007, Karnilowicz 2012, Lew, Alwis & Schmidt 2010, MacIntyre et al 1996.…”

“…In our models the higher achieving students seemed to predict and evaluate their examination results more accurately than their lower achieving fellows. This is in accordance with the conclusions of Karnilowicz [5]; Kruger and Dunning [6]; Sundström [29] etc. Although, we assumed that female students were less likely to predict and evaluate their grades the Volume 10 Number 2, 2017 results of our analysis cannot demonstrate this phenomenon.…”

“…This model may explain why some studies of self-perceived capability, particularly those that focus on non-specific skills (such as general self-efficacy and autonomy), have found no relationship between level of study and capability (Ekici et al 2012;Scott et al 2015). Students in higher education are generally not very good at self-reflection and self- (Boud and Falchikov 1989;Karnilowicz 2012;Randles and Overton 2015), but they are often well aware of their development in specific skills that can be expressly taught (Ainscough et al 2016). A lack of perceived progress may be a barrier to developing all aspects of learner autonomy as they are difficult to monitor expressly (Fazey and Fazey 2001;Macaskill and Denovan 2013).…”
