Both self-reflection and peer reflection are important components of assessment because they encourage students to engage in critical thinking, develop a better understanding of their own learning processes, and support each other in their learning journey. By incorporating these metacognitive practices into the assessment process, students can improve their learning outcomes.
Self-reflection involves students taking time to think about their own learning and performance, examining their strengths and weaknesses, identifying areas where they need to improve, and recognizing persistent misconceptions.
Self-reflection can be an effective tool for developing self-awareness, improving learning outcomes and becoming owners of their own learning.
Peer reflection & assessment, on the other hand, can be an effective way to build collaboration skills, develop communication skills, and enhance learning outcomes by creating a supportive learning environment.
