After i joined the first European school net academy's course i've realised the value of self and peer assessment. it helps you improve your teaching, realize and correct your mistakes, give the best to your students. Peer assessment has great results when it is done with truthfullness but not critisism, with suggestions for the peers improvement but allways with good maners.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that self-assessment is fundamental to understand if we are working in the right way.

The importance of self-evaluation is known.

It's power to improve is the main aim.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-evaluation allows to focus on aspects of our teaching abilities, and find our powerful ones and the ones that need more to work on.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-evaluation is very important to our professional evolution. Likewise, if students they must know how to self-assess what they know.

Self and peer assessments are very important to a teacherand his students.

Self and peer assesment is important in self developing in new ways we have not considered yet.

Assessment, self or peer, focuses in personal development and leaning achievement. It is necessary to create student-centered assessments and keep in mind that students are very creative if teachers manage to keep a warm and excited learning environment

# data[].attributes.body
Currently self and peer assessments is a focus area in my and many other schools.

# data[].attributes.body
It important to have peer assessment in our teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is possible only
when a teacher is confident enough and well avare of his/her own flos and
advantages. In a school community of my working place there is no thing like souch.

Peer assessment is important for see “what is missing, what is successful? Peer assessment provide developing. I did my self-assessment for module 1. Self-assessment harder than peer review because you think it’s your best. I made peer assessment other courses.

Criticizing is so hard for me and wording is so important for peer review.  But both of assessments are necessary for teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is crucial to remain always in contact with one's own limits ... while peer-assessment is necessary to become responsible and engaged in the teaching/learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems important to have self and peer assessment in our teaching. People don't always see that necessity as they may think other people will look down on them.

# data[].attributes.body
To my mind self-assessment and peer-assessment are so important, because students take responsibility for this. As for me both types of assessments are very important for improvement of the teaching process.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessments and peer-assessments are great and important tools. It can make pupils too look at their own work and to take responsibilty in their own learning as well as they like more to find out what their friends say about their work.

I consider that self assessment is essential. It helps to modify our way of teaching, always trying to correct things we didn´t like or trying to reproduce those that were more successful.

Equally, assessment of others or the possibility of learning for different experiences can be an unvaluable tool in order to improve our activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I think both types of assessment are very valuable for improvement of the teaching process.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in the power of self assessment and peer assessment because in those ways we can identify our mistakes but also or strenghts to improve our learning. Students feel more confident when assessed by their own peers. So peer assessment also helps to build up selfconfidence apart from learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessement give students a sense of all the things you have to consider when setting and marking work, thus helping them to more effectively 'internalise' academic standards and assessment criteria. This enables students to better understand assessmentexpectations and work towards improving their own performance. Getting students more actively involved in their assessment can make assessment itself a means by which they can learn and develop. To achieve this it's essential that your assessment criteria are clearly and fully described so that your students are able to understand exactly what is expected of them. Taking this a step further and allowing your students to contribute to the assessment criteria can serve to transfer ownership to the students, fostering deeper engagement with the assessment and their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
As a profession, teaching has this rare characteristic: when we practicing it there are no adults there (most of the times), That means that we need self assessment to tell us if we are doing things wright.Also, when a colleague sees our work, he/she can contribute through peer assessment to the perfection of our teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessement are fundamental to be aware of the way we are teaching and students are learning. It makes us reflect on it and learn from our mistakes or things that didn't really worked as we expected.

# data[].attributes.body
Self assessment and peer assessment is undeniably important, because we have to be sure that the way we work is on the right track. in Italy teacher assessment is rejected by trade unions and it is considered scaring by teachers because it is impossible to assess teacher way of teaching in an objective way, The consequence of this is very negative, nobody can have professional promotion, so teachers are demotivated to work longer and for uptodate courses which are not include in the teacher National contract.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assesment is vital for our development as teachers. We need to know exactly were we stand as far as our knowledge is conserned but also what more we need to work with so that we become more effective teachers. When conducting peer-assessment we need to be truthful, detailed and give tips for improvement. When conducting self-assessment we also need to be truthful set small achievable goals for our teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is fundamental in teaching and learning, it is a reflection about how we have done our work in the classroom,  if we have achieved our goals,  what we have to improve in our future work plans. But in my school many Teachers don't appreciate the assessment on their work, although we are encouraged even more to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
self-evaluation and feedback is very important for the future to come, I consider myself part of the evaluation and feedback for me

# data[].attributes.body
The key of a good peer assesment is to be constructive in our exchanges and give feedback as it was forsaid. And this goes for any assessment. When I participated for the first time in a EUN's Mooc and had to assessed I was a little bit anxious at the beginning but after receiving and giving my peer review I realized how important it is to get another point of view on what you' re doing. A constructive peer review could make you improove and take your work to another level. Peer reviewing also cultivates our empathy upon how our students feel.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is important. I have my students engaged in couple peer assessment and each can learn from the other, it works well. As to myself I always reflect on my teaching procedures and I often ask my collegues to have their opinion, even if it's not a structured assessment in each case.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluation is very important for everybody (teacher or students). I always try to reflect on my work to see if I have achieved all the goals that I have put in front of me. Self-assessment is the base to plan future work.

I like to hear other opinions about my work so peer assessment is also very important, if we get honest feedback with the guidelines for improvement

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is an important part of teaching and learning. It's the feedback that's necessary about our work. So, we need to evaluate its results very carefully.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment are not common among portuguese teachers. In my school it does not occur but I've experienced peer assessment in some past ESA moocs and it was a great experience. As we are using moodle platform in my school the administrator of the platform is trying to implement a module of peer assessment so I think it will be a very important experience for teachers and students.
Some interesting readings I found:

The assessment so it's very important, it's beginning of improving ourself and our practices. It also a way to see the results of what has been done in the classroom.Self assesment is very important part of learning.Teachers, can improve their techniques,teaching methods and behaviour in class.

Self - assessment and peer assessment is essential in the educational act. Students will feel important if they take an active part in learning.

Self-assessment is very important for a teacher, so that he can think about the way he does what he does and improve what seems not be working so well.

# data[].attributes.body
The first thing for solving a problem is be aware of its existence. So, we must check our teaching skill regularly and of course we must listen to others opinion for finding solutions to even invisible from our perspective problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I use students' self-assessment constantly, and regular peer-assessment for some main projects, I find so difficult to practice them for myself. It depends on the fact that we're not so used in accepting a critical contribution from our colleagues, mainly because we tend to feel personally rejected and hurt.

I've experienced peer assessment only in some MOOC I've attended, and it was great: I was encouraged in getting further, and I'd really like to practice it in real life - not only in virtual one.

Talking about self-assessment instead, apart from my own thoughts after a class, I've never used a more systematic and objective tool, so that's something I really need.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluation is a very important issue for teachers. They need to self-assess their work and know how to evaluate the work of their students. Auto evaluation and hetero-evaluation are essential for all teachers. It is essential to identify the teacher what you did well, what did less well in their work, so as to improve their teaching performance. The teacher should reflect on their practice. To evaluate students should observe and analyze the students' products carefully so as to make a more accurate assessment possible of the students. On the one hand it is important for the teacher to do self-evaluation and hetero-evaluation is also important to implement activities in the classroom where students learn to self-evaluate their work and the work of colleagues. Children will learn to analyze what they did well, what they did less well and improve their work, but also to give an opinion and the work of others. Self-assessment and hetero assessment whether emanating from teachers or students is above all reflect on.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is essential for all educators. We place equal emphasis on assessment for learning and assessment of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is in our every day work as teachers. I find it difficult to believe that a conscious teacher doesn't do a self-assessment after he/she has finished his/her lesson trying to understand what was good and what went wrong and can become better. Hour after hour of teaching I'm catching myself assessing my strategies and the means I used, what I can change and how I might manage to motivate my students more.
Peer-assessment is a very dynamic mean of learning. It can help very much, but there are two prerequisites to my opinion. First, a rubric in which there will be clearly noted what is to be assessed and what's not, how much each item will weight towards the final grade (if there's any). Second, willingness to accept criticism on whatever seems to be bad and needs correction. If I may add one more factor, this will be practise. We can't expect from anybody to do it the way it should be done from scratch.

Thanks for the video presentation. One of the benefits of using peer assessment is that the students can learn from the successes of others or from other's mistakes.

I think that self-assessment and peer assessment are valuable tools to improve our work and that of our students. They have inevitable consequences on the acquisition of skills and expertise, not only digital.

# data[].attributes.body
I do love self-assessment before my own check-ups. Students evaluate their own progress. The thing is they must be motivated to do this objectively and be determined to learn from this experience. It's always a chance to critically evaluate self-progress.

Quality insights in our own experience and the experience of colleagues can help us, teachers, to make our activities more efficient. Reconsideration of our own work makes teachers active creator of teaching process, not just the executor of the curriculum.

I think peer assessment encourages students' involvement and responsibility. Moreover, students are involved in the project and they get feedback from their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used it once, at the beginning of this school year and one students told me that was my task not theirs. Students in my school unfortunately are not used to doing it.

I use peer-to -peer assessment, not as often as I'd like. It is a challenge for students, I think it develops more skills.

Sounds interesting and ofcourse motivating. I use it sometimes but in a different way. Sometimes others opinion has more effective feedback.

Assessment si a ley activity in education, both addressed to students and also to ourselves, teachers. Self-assessment and Thats coming from our peers will enrich our teaching practice and our students learning experience.

Self-assessments and peer-assessments are great tools to evaluate ones work. Making pupils use them helps them too look at their own work and to take responsibilty in their own learning as well as they like more to find out what their friends say about their work.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer assessment is sometimes very useful. I think that learning is the main aim for a teacher and when a student assesses another student he is learning from the work of his peer, from the errors and from the solution his mate did. I believe that it is important to use this kind of assessment almost once a semester.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer to peer is certainly more motivating and challenging for our students

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that peer assessment can be more powerful for our professional development. However I don't have much experience in peer assessement concerning the pedagogical use of technology.

My reflections on self-assessment
and peer assessment

We need to use both regularly to improve our works. To know if we are doing right or wrong. If we want our students to enhance their
digital skills we have to start by us to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
In France peer assessment in not very common in schools, however we are encouraged to work in teams with colleagues, and preferably with colleagues teaching other subjects from one another. This kind of work leads to an informal self and peer assessment as you have to reflect on your own teaching and on ohter's and discuss on how you can improve it together, or event change things to make them understandable and effective to everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion peer to peer is a strong way to improving teaching, because for students is easier to learn with other students for they don't feel evaluated. To assess a peer to peer activity you need to consider different aspects not only the final product or the achievement of the goal, but even the strategies they have been used to reach it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think self-assessment is very important. I'd like to do peer assessment too but, unfortunatelly, it's not the practice in the school where I work

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I had the experience of peer assessment in two ways: digital and live. Digital assessment was reciprocal and made using rubrics. It was not always easy to define if rubric was fulfilled as there were deviations quite often. But the total conclusion was very closely to the actual outcome. It was very interesting to see how everyone interprets the rubric. Self-assessment was necessary as well.

In live assessment I had to "check" a peer's lesson plan. It was a really useful procedure for both of us. We made changes and concluded to a lesson plan that worked pretty well in the classroom. So I'm waiting the experience of this course to be interesting and constructive.

Assessing my TET competence is always a big challenge. Probably peer assessment can bring a better insight about the personal strengths and fragilities in the pedagogical use of technology. I hope so.

# data[].attributes.body
Until now was very rare and a few chances were given to make peer assessment. I expect it to be very helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Peer assessment can offer a different perspective and it allows you to see other colleagues’ opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment and peer review would be excellent tools for our work. Unfortunately we can only make a self-assessment and not peer review because not all teachers would accept that another colleague would evaluate the work of the other, unfortunately we sin

of presumption thinking "I am able to do better than others, and no one has to assess myself, I know how to do everything etc ..." in my opinion first of all we must be humble and confront between colleagues and then ask ourselves if what we are doing is right and we need to improve

# data[].attributes.body
When you want to improve your teaching methods or skills having some peer assessment is very helpful as you may not notice some things in self assessment.

I think that self-assessment  is very important for teachers - to see the results of our work and what still needs to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very important to use peer and self accessment. It is valid and very educating. They can easily see their errors and try to correct them.

I think that evey teacher, in more or less degree reflects on his/her effectivness, assessing his work and acting accordingly. Peer assessment in Portugal is a mirage.

Our culture of blame and shame from centuries as not yet left us. That culture has, in great extent prevented teachers to engage with each other in collaborative work. So, here we are, in 21th century with a cousciousness (even as teachers) that does not allow us to move forward embracing peer assessment as a tool for improvement.

Miguel Tomás/Portugal, I agree with what you said, You are right on what the issue is. Since the 90's we were more open to peer collaborative work, (Yes, I teach for more than 30 years) but nowadays, with the overload of time spent in the classroom, the growth of egoic minds, the fear, and so on... I'm seeing more and more everyone returning to his/her own "backyard" again, blaiming and critisizing the peers.

What we really nead is not (yet) peer assessment, but a leap in cousciousness. Or perhaps I'm wrong and we really need peer assessment to have a leap in cousciousness.

Either way, we need to move on quickly, for the sake of our students.

# data[].attributes.body
Among students it's quite natural to find peer-assessment but less so self-asessment (we teachers have to kind of force it on them with assessment grid in hand).

For teachers, it's the opposite, at least in my country...I find myself asking questions about how effective my teaching is and hopefully finding solutions to the challenges I might have found. But among peers-it's extremely difficult to be able to use this strategy, partly because each guards their own work jealously and won't share their difficulties

# data[].attributes.body
It is very useful to use tools for peer and self assessement. It helps teaching very much

# data[].attributes.body
Self or peer assesment among students is something important . Students accept better the assesment comes from their peers and the try to improve themselves. In any case self assesment is essential for both students an teachers . Students realize in what extend have they gain the knowledge, and effective was their way of learning. For teachers is essential too , in order to understand is the teaching proccesses they use are effective or not for the students .

Peer and self assessment is a precious tool to redirect one's pedagogical methodology and overcome obstacles met in the learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
For my students I have seen that self assessment and peer assessment helps them learn more efficiently from their mistakes and improves their future performance. It is of course a more time consuming process so, unfortunately, we do not always have the time to use it.

Self and peer assessment is also necessary for my personal and career development. Each year I am able to improve on my weaknesses and I have noticed the positive results of my own improvement on my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if a teacher performs well the programming of its lessons then self-assessment is possible. Recently we learned to plan the teaching modules through the pattern of the UDA (Learning Unit), in which each activity is proposed in order to make sure that all students will gain the required skills. If the planning is done well, then the teacher can easily check whether or not their work has given good results.

# data[].attributes.body
I think thath self and peer assessment is regular way to give some soncstructive feedback for your own work.

# data[].attributes.body
Why and how is self and peer assessment important to me?I believe that my students can learn from their previous mistakes, identify their iarystrengths and weaknesses and learn to target their learning accordingly. Getting students to become more active in their learning in this way can help them to alter their perception of learning as being a passive process whereby students listen to me and absorb the information in order to regurgitate during a subsequent assignment.

In my opinion self and peer assessment is a process always valid and important if we want to improve our work. But this is a subject that is not always well regarded by many teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Self and peer assessment is very important for improving our work and overcoming obstacles that come our way. Unfortunately, it is not common in my working environment to have peer - assessment and I have to admit that when I get to the process of assessing my own work, I get a bit confused and sidetracked. So from this module I expect to get some clear guidelines as to how to conduct self-assessment.

Through this seminar I expect to learn methods and practices that will help me evaluate effectively my work. I do believe in self-assessment, it helps us improve our teaching methods and apply innovative practices.

Self-assessment is really important, but in our school we do this once a year.

In my country, teachers should evaluate themselves at the end of each school year.

The heads of departments are required to attend classes peers and evaluate their teaching activities.

During the lessons we are asked to do self-assessment and peer feedback and peer activities.

In our learning center all teachers make self-assessment at the end of the school year. About peer-assessment we talked many times, had various workshops but still do not use it.
