I agree with the video that self-assessment is important in evaluating work done. By using self-assessment methods we get better and more confident on the process we follow with students.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers who are learning how to use technology to support their teaching, need to reflect about it and they have to be prepared that there is no one ‘right’ answer. It depends on the context.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet's answers, I think that self-assessments help us improve and to be better.

# data[].attributes.body
In the lack of time I find the idea of peer on line assessment quite interesting. Actually I already try to do it with my collegues, even if it is something neither systematic nor well defined.

# data[].attributes.body
Agree with Janet, can only yield positive results. Professional development beginning with yourself and learning from others

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Pavlos. Yhe most important is to analise yourself without fear of changing through our peers rewiew.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning to be honest with ourselves and with our colleagues will promote effective peer-/self-assessment.

I agree with Livia Napoleoni. These tools are great, but in our schools only printed docs are considered as valid tools, even for self+assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet answers. Self help us to know each other very well, so it is important to teach our students to know and what they can do and where they will have to work on to become better future

# data[].attributes.body
Our teaching includes a reflection of real life content; it is important to engage students in self-assessement process.

# data[].attributes.body
If teacher focuses to assessment that use technology and not to exploitation of IT in assessment based on its aims and student centered activities then the assessment cannot be valuable either for teacher or student

PS Is it possible colleagues from F.Y.R.O.M. to use the official name of their country (i.e.FYROM)?

Self-assessment is an important process in learning, especially for the teacher. Through self-assessment the teacher can see how many students reach their goals and whether use correct methods and forms of knowledge for adoption.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, but to do real and valid self-assesments you need practice and some people need more help with it than others, I think, because they stort of with assesing themselves being better / worse than what is fair to begin with, and probably also even later in the prosess.

# data[].attributes.body
Our teaching reflects realife content and we engaging students in self assessment proces.

# data[].attributes.body
There are self assessment of students and
the teachers, too. In the self assessment process the important are validity and
reability. After some time, they are supposed to show a progress of their
competences. In my class, students have their portfolios, which they have been doing
for some longer time. After each education period, they go back throughout
their work and make an assessment of it.

The main principle is engaging students in a formative process where they compare their worlk to shared and clear criteria.

Self-Assessment: Reflections from Students and Teachers

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet and are interested in the self-assessment and in particulary about assessment tools rubrics, eportolios and serious games

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with Janet’s answer. Self-assessment can be very positive. Must say that self-assessment comes with experience. That is why there are a lot of tools to assist even more inexperienced teachers ineffectively doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet answers, I believe that each of us can grow, improve, be better when we make a self-assessment in any aspect of our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet`s answer: self-assessment can be very possitive and one of the key elements of it are our students because in them we can see how successful our work had been.

The opinion of our workmates or a peer assessment in online courses may be very helpful as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet's answers. I think there is no one right way for self-assessment. Everyone chooses the most suitable for him/her.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with my Italian colleagues self-evaluation is a very important tool to know if what you are doing works or not. For the students it's an important mean to increase their sense of criticism and improve their learning competences.

# data[].attributes.body
When working and learning based on real-life situations, students can feel the reasons they are learning because they can put the theory into practice. In addition, the tools such as the portfolios, improve students' learning skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Some tips from personal experience

1. help clarify what good performance is

2. facilitate the development of self-assessment (reflection) in learning; when well organized, self-assessment can lead to significant improvement in learning especially if integrated with staff feedback. Self and peer assessment processes help develop the skills to make judgements against standards

3. deliver high quality information to students about their learning;

4. encourage positive motivational beliefs and self-esteem;

5. provide opportunities to close the gap between current and desired performance.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with all the principles Janet pointed out. By thinking about the process of teaching and tracking and measuring the impact on students learning, teachers assessment skills will improve. Peer online assessments gives different perspectives to one's work and that exchange of points of view will probably benefict both parts

# data[].attributes.body
I could completely agree with the statement that self-assessment comes with experience, but that is why there are a lot of tools to assist even more inexperienced teachers in effectively doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet's statements about on line self managemed learning :
setting goals ,
deciding on the msot
effective learning strategies, tracking their own progress, responding to feedback from peers, and assessing their own progress Trackink or recording what the teacher do and how she/he works iwith students is aso important.Technologie help teachers who want to improve the quality of their teachinhg work because they keep the data and can be adjusted at any time.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion the most important issue in our students' learning is "authentic learning environment". Whether our teaching actually reflects realife content should be our main concern and we should definately value our approaches by assessing ourselves. I do agree that self assessement can hardly be objective and I am eager to watch next video in order to see suggested tools.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that any assessment needs to be valid and reliable. In both self and peer assessment we need to take into consideration the goals set by the teacher, the tools used to achieve these goals. We need to be realistic and not harsh but empowering.

# data[].attributes.body
Validity and reliability are fundamental, particularly in assessment. Sometimes in the real life context, concerning the use of technology at school, I find difficulty when I set goals, in fact it is not easy to decide the effective Learning strategies to use, because the real life context can easily change, Tools like e-portfolios and tracking tools could be useful.

# data[].attributes.body
Any assessment needs to be valid and reliable,It allows us to see their progress

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment is a cruitial part of the teaching and learning proccess. Without assessing our work we cannot moove steady because we sure are going to find some gaps on our way.

So I tottally agree with the principles Janet mentions on the above video: setting goals, effective learning strategies, tracking progress, responding to feedback from peers, assessing their own progess. Self-assessment: validity and reliability./ e-Portfolios, Rubrics, Tracking tools, serious games

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment is a fundamental part of our job. We need to reflect about procedures and strategies and to observe results constantly to improve our teching outcomes. Peer assesment is also a valuable way to check our results and to improve them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the video. Self assessment is very important if we want to see did we make right choices to achieve the goals that are planned. We must answer some questions like did we use right strategies, were they the best choice for achieving goals, were they according to students' needs etc. All this is very important to plan our future teaching

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to self assessment, objectivity is not an easy goal to be achieved, but it's necessary if we want to become better teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an interesting video from Janet Looney, with important guidelines and answers. On past ESA moocs the experience was very useful to me and it became easier to do it afterwards. It was a very useful and important methodology I came across, since I never tried it before.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agreed with the speaker on the video.

There are interesting options open to us when we are assessing ourselves and our peers in the pedagogical use of new technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't agree more with Janet's answers. Assessment is part of our work and it's an important way to make us improve our skills and try to do better. The only problem connected with it is reliability and, of course, our will to change and keep an open mind in what concerns our own way of doing things. Peer assessment has to be mastered and be seen and understood as an honest and kind way of mutual "coaching" and not a way of criticism to make us feel "less than the other" or "unable to improve". So, I think peer assessment is a very "delicate" issue that has to be valued when there's a sense of mutual respect and reliability, otherwise it can turn out to become exactly the opposite of its ultimate purpose - sharing experiences with one another , learning and improving our performance as a teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
All us are agree that the assessment is part fundamental of the work. The self-assessment is a good practice for ensuring the efficacy of the learning process.

In the past I have done courses like now here and in everyone of it had a part of assessment. The assessment were done by the teachers sometime there were a bit time of self and peer assessment.

I have found that self and peer assessment is good for skills and also reflection of our own practice. On the other hand, it great best for social skills because it does a sense of educational community which builds experiences among peer. For this is important to be open-minded so that other's opinions and ideas are received as contributions to our own development.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that teacher must continually try to save didactic moments in order to be able to recall them later and evaluate his/hers teaching skill.

# data[].attributes.body
Without a critical self assesment you will not be able to improve your own teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely agree with these principles. In particular, validity is the point which conflicts the most with the need of self-assessment, so any structured, consistent, rational tool suggested in this course will be the welcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the ideas presented in the video. Validity and reliability are the main points in any evaluation. Evaluating is not always easy and in some cases may even be subjective. It needs the teacher to develop their observation skills, but also carefully review the materials produced.

# data[].attributes.body
While waiting to see which instruments will propose the next video for self-assessment, I agree that teachers in the evaluation, as well as the use of technology, are developing new approaches. Often it is the same government system that requires it. The ultimate goal is to support the educational success of students

# data[].attributes.body
Couldn't agree more with Janet. Validity and reliability are the core points in any assessment. They help us as teachers not only in self-/peer- assessment but also when we are assessing our students, no matter if it's formative or summative. And such is the case with peer assessment. What, to my opinion, is missing in Greek schools is the willingness to collaborate with peers, to open our classrooms to them, to invite them into and allow them to assess our teaching method, techniques and means. So, collaboration is needed. Adopting tools that will facilitate self-assessment (video recording our teaching, testing what our students have learnt at the end of a teaching hour...) and peer assessment (rules and rubrics...) is also needed. Last but not least, repetition of action until we get the hang of it, till we are confident that our judgement is as objective as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
A factor that is essential in self-assessment is questioning oneself and asking questions like:

"Am I meeting the needs of individual students ? " and

"Did I succeed in reaching the learning objectives?"

Apart from this I agree that assessment techniques must be valid and reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment encourages the reflection on own teaching, checks out our progress and measures our success in teaching. This ”barometer of success” must be ”valid and reliable”.

# data[].attributes.body
No doubt, the self-assessment improves the process of teaching and learning. The validity, reliability, experience and open-mindness should be the conditions that we should have always present.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not sure I understand the possibility and manner of self-assessments assisted by technology. I hope it will be explained in more detail. In any case, it is essential that all participants in the process of self-assessment and peer assessment know the reasons and the goals of such a process and to be well-intentioned. Through experience in this process will raise .the level of their objectivity

# data[].attributes.body
I m looking forward to learning more about how to self or peer assess if there is no 'right " answer . I think it's always a bit scary for a teacher when there is no "right " an

# data[].attributes.body
Validity, reliability, experience and open-mindness. A desire to overcome obstacles and find the best solution for teaching/ learning difficulties helps to be motivated to reflect on your own practice.

# data[].attributes.body
What a "heavy" video! I' m not sure I understood clearly what exactly a valid assessment would be. Hope next videos and examples can make it clearer.

I also don't know if we're talking about assessing our teaching in general or our teaching particularly when using technology.

What I' m sure of is that self and peer assessment improves with experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment whether it is from teacher or from the students part it is a good way, if not a must, of assuring an adequate reflection in the learning and teaching process.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that self-assessment encourages students to critically reflect their own learning progress and performance. They also become autonomous learners and it enhances their self-confidence as well the awareness of all their strengths and weaknesses.

# data[].attributes.body
If the teacher practice a self-assessment, and shows that to
students, he can then cause that students become more exigent with their activity.

# data[].attributes.body
The principles of effective teacher self-assessment are: validity, reliability, experience and freedom of mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment needs of good skills and also serious reflection of our own practice. On the other hand, peer-assessment needs of social skills and a sense of educational community which builds experiences among connected teachers. To this respect, IT is important to be open-minded so that other's opinions and ideas are received as contributions to our own development.

# data[].attributes.body
I think tha most of the teachers make self assessment in different ways mostly in non-professional way. I also make self-asessment after my lessons or sometimes at the end of the day, but t is not structured. Ido not use rubrics or forms. However, I am totally agree with the video that may be self-assssment with a structured way will be more useful to observe myself, make judgements about my style of teaching, my activities etc. At that point, peer assessment may also be required to make comparison to see the results, I mean if we can see the same strengths and weaknesses with some body else who observes us objectively.

# data[].attributes.body
In Iceland we do not have much of peer assessments between teachers like they do in Japan but I´m really doing self-assessment after every day in the way how to approach my pupils to get them to become better learners and me learning from them how to become a better teacher by listening to them.

# data[].attributes.body
I unlike colleague Angela think in a different way, there is a right answer and it is not true that no one can help us, as I wrote in the previous Padlet need be "humble" and not "too much full of themselves", it is true that we can not self-assess because it is difficult, because we can not find honest answers, and because we are not able to self-criticize, but I'm sure that in our heart we know and are aware if we did well or not all there was to do. I disapprove the fact that an assessment made by a colleague via online is easier because you are not face to face. I some time ago I attended another course on line where each one evaluated the colleague on line and personally when I read my evaluation made by colleague I was a little angry because it has been a little polite in the report that has drafted

# data[].attributes.body
I believe than at the end of each lesson teachers always do our self-assessment but in a nonprofessional way. What Janet suggests is the principles of a professional self-assessment which ensures validity and reliability. I had been engaged in an assessing process and I must confess I found it very difficult. The use of assessment tools is very helpful but experience makes the deference.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet but I would  add that self assessment needs to be modeled for our students if we want them to be good Judges for their  works. It’s not easy to self assess and we need to show our students how to do it. Some students on estimates them and some students underestimates them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet Looney, specialty in the fact that self assessment skills improve with time. Both self assessment and peer assessment are fundamental in ensuring that the use of new tools and strategies are used in a pedagogical way.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with J looney. I think that if you are clear about what you are evaluating, students are able to self assess themselves and their peer in a right way.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree with what is stated about self assessment. Recording the lesson you give and watching yourself and your students' reactions in class can give you a hint about what's done right or wrong. Colleagues and discussions with them can help you get on the right track also -comparing experiences about the same students or the same or different students and approaches.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet.

I think a teacher who is assessing your work should be positive and reliable and you both have to be keen to learn and improve your teaching practice.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet Looney. The most important to me is related to the fact that «Teachers who are learning how to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment are also developing new and innovative approaches.» Being so, everything becomes really new: tools and strategies must be implemented and tested by me to allow a time to experience and to construct my own opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
For peer assessment to be fully integrated and accepted we need to know that human experience is subjective an that there is the underlying thought patterns of the humankind, that "I'm not enough" and "I'm less than..." every time we need to be assessed.

So peer assessment must be kind and loving, and promote the self reflexion by going inward.

This should be done through questioning, the options, not judjment and criticism, to promote more clarity and more understanding of our choices.

To ear someone elses ideias and opinions, and I know better because I have plenty to share :( , does not serve us.

# data[].attributes.body
In peer assessment is very important to make suggestions in a positive manner and to give objective comments and suggestions.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important parts in a teaching-learning activity is feedback. Feedback has lots of benefits for students as we all know. So, similar benefits also occur for us, for teachers. There is always a better way and we can find that better way/s by the help of peer assesment.

# data[].attributes.body
We are trying to develop tools for assesment ,either self or peer to peer, for many years ,but its difficult to achive this target, because of the teachers' egoism . I don't blame them ,and myself of course , but at first we have to beat ourselves. This course its a new beggining for a new era in teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
If we want our students to be able to assess themselves and peers, first we must be able to do it ourselves; and so we can serve as a model and know what we are doing in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
It's very important to have peers whose answers you can rely on and which are valid and who can be sincere and objective in their assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with Janet's comments: experience. as in many fields of life, is very important and also discussing with peers

# data[].attributes.body
Teacher have to improve themselves all the time. For this purpose teachers can use self and peer accessment. For a reliable accessment people must be open-minded and musn't be afraid of critise.

# data[].attributes.body
A couple of years ago I was surfing the net and found CAT's, Classroom Assessment Tecniques.

I found that was awsome to share with my colleagues, and Pedagogical Counsil and get people motivated to learn more about it.

Guess what. No feedback.

Problablly there were more burocratic issues needing their attention.

Maybe we need more assessment from our students than from our peers.

Ultimatlly, it's them that are our "clients". They should tell us if what we do, and how we do it, helps them to learn better.

Again, is our counsciousness ready for that?

# data[].attributes.body
The problem is "there's no right answer"...that's getting to the root of the problem. The older you get, the more questions you have for yourself and usually there's nobody who can help you. In person, it's difficult to find honest answers, but online as Janet said, it's easier because you're not face-to-face!

# data[].attributes.body
Of course I agree with Janet' s answers. I am teaching chemistry for 27 years. After so many years I am convinced about what the researchers have found:" learners’ self-assessment skills may improve with experience and over time "

# data[].attributes.body
Assesment in general is very essential for every one whatever job they hold. Let's think how important is for a teacher who has to do with kids . So I totally agreed with the speaker on the video.

# data[].attributes.body
The principles of the video are right and helps teachers at their work.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree with the principles in the video. Peer assessment is very valuable to any teacher, especially from teachers from other countries and educational systems.

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree with the principles in the video. Self assessment helps teachers evolve both as pedagogs and personal thinkers.

# data[].attributes.body
A good self-assessment requires the determination of objective criteria by which to measure the quality of work performs. Very often teachers passively accept what the ministerial guidelines propose them but they do not implement new methods of work and self-evaluation. I think that the knowledge of some new methodologies and the comparison with peers are both very important to understand if the class work is productive or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all principes are very useful and that we should consider every principe in evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
I would add that it is important also that the teacher publish what it does in the classroom, so experiences can be shared to all their peers

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the principles shown in the video. I mostly value peer assessment from my colleagues.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet regarding most of the concepts she share with us. Nevertheless, the feedback one can get from well-intentioned colleagues is valuable. In day to day activities, teachers might not be able to see some particularities of their own practices, as those “invisible” actions are observable by a third party.

# data[].attributes.body
It is necessary for the teachers to explore all these asessment tools while trying to be objective about their progress in work.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment and self-assessment are the topics which have always been quite a challenge to me. I completely agree with Janet that validity and reliability are the key aspects. What is more is objectivity. I always try to invent some tolls which could help me to be as objective as possible. On the other hand, if we agree that personalization of teaching process is very important and essential in our schools, we can ask for more criteria in assessing process. Self assessment shows for students what they are strong at or what their weaknesses are. It also motivates them and make students responsible for their learning. One more thing I would like to mention is reflecting activities, Though, sometimes we think that reflection is not worth the time we spend during the lesson, but after some time we admit that is has a great value on assessing.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet. I have done e-portfolio but I have little experience with rubrics and others.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment has broad formative valences. It cultivates inner motivation and responsibility for their work.

# data[].attributes.body
For self-assessment and it's improvement Lithuanian schools can use IQESonline platform

Indeed, since teachers are also innovating as they think about how to integrate new methods in their teaching, they are also assessing the impact, and identifying ways in which they can best help their students.

Ritengo che un insegnante debba porsi in maniera prioritaria alcune domande:

Cosa insegno?

Come insegno?

Che tipo di attività svolgono gli studenti per apprendere e dimostrare che hanno appreso? Realizzo un agire educativo  incoraggiante?

Come curo la situazione apprenditiva?

Incoraggio pratiche auto valutative? Aiuto gli studenti per “imparare ad imparare”?

Utilizzo rubriche valutative di osservazione sui processi, non solo di rilevazione degli esiti?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, and I would like to add objectivity. But being objective to

# data[].attributes.body
First of all I try to set realistic goals and later to decide on on effective learning strategies. In the end of teaching, I use (in some extend) e -portfolios and try to share rubrics. Unfortunately, time is very limited in the class and is hard to succeed all your goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider self-assessment very useful, which leads to improved results. I would like to get more involved in the subject and see how I can use the validity and reliability as powerful tools.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Janet's answers and in my opinion the principles of effective teacher self-assessment are:

The complex task / problem

Assessment criteria

The quality of feedback

Reflection about the impact and ideas for self-development.
