I particularly like the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must assessments always encourage \u2018<em>learning (and teaching) to the test<\/em>\u2019? Can self-assessment capitalise on the truism <em>\u2018assessment drives learning\u2019<\/em> in a more constructive way?<\/li>\n<li>Should the learner or teacher be in charge of what self-assessments to do, and when?<\/li>\n<li>Is instant feedback important? (or is a delay better)<\/li>\n<li>Are explanations of answers important as feedback?<\/li>\n<li>Should students doing self-assessments be encouraged to work together?<\/li>\n<li>Should individual students\u2019 marks on self-assessments \u00a0be ignored by teachers?<\/li>\n<li>Are self-assessments most useful after study (\u2018revision\u2019) or as a stimulus to continuing study?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0There are lots of other questions about self-assessment (including many we haven&#8217;t identified) and I suppose the mother\u00a0and father of all of them are &#8216;What do we mean by self-assessment?&#8217; and &#8216;What does it matter?&#8217;\u00a0&#8211; hopefully we&#8217;ll have a good discussion on 11th June.
