Developing The Self-Assessment Skill In The Teacher Training System

Abstract

A component of the training process aims at developing the specialists’ assessment and self-assessment skill. During the seminars on Didactics at the Physical Education specialty we worked on improving the assessment and self-assessment skill. Among the practice manners, we used the written paper in the 14 lessons in order to create exercises for different topics, a work which must end with a self-assessment. The present study was conducted on a group of 66 students at VAUB, using as a research method the bibliographic study, the testing method, the pedagogical observation, the statistical-mathematical analysis, the graphic interpretation and representation. The results of the research revealed a significant improvement in the self-assessment skill, with a more realistic arithmetic mean in the final self-assessment. This is highlighted by the dynamics of the results recorded between the initial teacher and student assessment, which recorded 1.31 points in the Group A and the final score of 0.17 points, while in the Group B there was a difference of 1.30 points in the initial assessment and 0.04 points in the final assessment. The interpretation of the data obtained emphasizes that during the training process, paying particular attention to self-evaluation capacity contributes to the formation of fair and competent specialists who face the development of the future society, culture and civilization.The conclusions highlight the differences between the initial and final self-assessment and emphasize the efficiency of the training process based on the practice of repeated self-assessment.
