Abstract
Abstract: This article focuses on the results of an investigation about the „traffic light” method in kindergarten, which is used as a self-assessment method, a strategy by which the preschoolers evaluate their own progress in achieving the learning objectives, and the teacher obtains an immediate feedback regarding the level of understanding of the preschoolers during the activity. Formative assessment is the most effective because it comes from the learner's own initiative, developing its self-assessment capabilities. Self-assessment is not only a challenge for children, the teacher is also committed to the spirit of evaluation that develops and promotes children's autonomy, knowing not only what the child has to learn in the classroom, but also his own level of knowledge that he has.

The questions used were open, closed and mixed. 5 open-ended questions asked teachers about the characterization of the group from a moral point of view, about how it integrates self-assessment in activities and the level of difficulty in using it in the group, parental support in forming moral skills and attitudes in children, and what they want to learn from self-assessment training courses for preschoolers. 4 questions out of the 18 closed were dichotomous questions, regarding gender, environment, use of self-assessment methods, and participation in training courses on this topic. 10 semi-open questions collected identification data of the teachers participating in this study, information on the use of self-assessment methods and the percentage during a teaching activity, given to the self-assessment of preschoolers
In the category of closed questions were the 4 semantic questions in scale, which followed the frequency of using self-assessment methods, the conditions necessary for self-assessment, its contribution to shaping the moral behavior of preschoolers and the share of institutions involved in children's moral education
