The Impact of Self-assessment on Academic Performance: A Meta-analysis Study

Abstract

This meta-analysis study synthesizing the results of experimental and quasi experimental studies examined the effects of self-assessment interventions on student academic performance from primary education to higher education. A total of 16 studies with 46 effect sizes involving more than 7,650 participants were included in the analysis. Research synthesis showed that an overall small influence of self-assessment interventions on academic performance (g=.37, p .05). Additionally, moderator analysis was used to examine moderating effects of some variables. The analysis indicated that traditional self-assessment interventions without external feedback have significantly a larger effect (g =.47, p.05) than self-assessment with external feedback (g=.28, p.05) on academic performance. However, effectiveness of other moderating variables (e.g. education level, assessment criteria type, self-assessment training) on academic performance were not statistically significant. The results suggest that further empirical studies are needed to reveal the moderating effects of self-assessment.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF USING ChatGPT IN THE ELT SCENARIO OF UTAS, NIZWA, OMAN

“…Additionally, ChatGPT ability to provide personalized and adaptable learning environments can enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as observed by Cotton et al (2023) and . Similarly, Park et al (2021) have recommended ChatGPT for offering personalized feedback on writing assignments, which can aid in the development of students' writing skills and enable them to recognize and correct mistakes. Bin-Hady et al conclude their research on the use of ChatGPT for language learners on a positive note.…”

“…Lund and Wang (2023) suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can be of maximum help to researchers, saving them valuable time. In addition, Kim et al (2021) report that ChatGPT can facilitate the generation of research questions and hypotheses, while Chen and Liu (2022) demonstrate how it can enhance efficiency and productivity in academic research by automating various aspects of the research process. Specifically, ChatGPT can assist with data analysis and manuscript writing, leading to time savings and better-quality research outputs.…”

Teachers’ Evaluation of the Usability of a Self-Assessment Tool for Mobile Learning Integration in the Classroom

“…Self-evaluation tools can help teachers assess their own effectiveness and identify areas for improvement [47]. This can lead to more effective and efficient teaching practices [48][49][50][51].…”

“…The self-evaluation tool was composed of seven elements grouped into a community taxonomy that seeks to answer what pedagogical factors should be considered for the design, implementation, and evaluation of activities with mobile devices. This seven-element selfevaluation tool was articulated through 67 items that sought to facilitate the evaluation and improve teaching practice in terms of mobile learning, offering personalised feedback according to the score obtained in the tool so that teachers could know their level as regards the design of activities using mobile devices and the key aspects to improve [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

Accuracy of Pupils´ Self-Assessment

“…Zimmerman Fišer et al, 2016), the influence of self-assessment in the overall educational career of an individual (e.g. Karaman, 2021), the beginning of schooling, when it supports and maintenances during the first stage (Tesser, In order to appropriately motivate a child to cope with school demands, it is important to recognize to what extent the child can realistically estimate his/her performance, to what extent his/her assessment prediction matches the results of the work, and which personality characteristics interfere with the ability for healthy reflection (e.g., Hoskovcová, 2006).…”
