Abstract

KAMBOUROVA, Miglena. What is missing to comprehend about the concept self-assessment (of learning) in higher education? A different view from its history. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.3, pp.640-658.  Epub Oct 30, 2020. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772020000300007.

Although the concept self-assessment of learning has been developed and investigated by different authors during the last decades, it seems that it still generates distrust and doubts among teachers, which has resulted in its little application in the teaching-learning process of higher education. This article suggests an approximation to its history from the hermeneutical approach - which implies analyzing the evolution from the word, its conversion to term and, later, to concept - and from the teaching (didactics) approach to reveal meanings that are necessary for the comprehension of the concept in its totality (the psychological-sociological, the philosophical-ontological and the pedagogical-didactic). The purposes of this article are to generate reflections on the topic, to propose another vision toward self-assessment and to open the possibility for future discussions.

Keywords : Self-assessment of learning; Higher education; History of the concept self-assessment.
