Helping Pupils Help Themselves Through Self-Evaluation

Abstract

Improvement in Arithmetic is dependent—dependent upon the individual's awareness of various weaknesses, a desire to improve in this area, and a knowledge of the procedures that possibly may bring about the desired improvement. This idea of self-improvement is carried on in arithmetic classes in our school through the use of our self-evaluation plan. Although rather simple in nature, this self-evaluation technique has proven a valuable device for helping pupils help themselves in arithmetic improvement.
