Yan and Brown develop a cyclical model of how learners engage in self-assessment from qualitative interviews with 17 undergraduate students.
Key ideas
The process involves determining performance criteria, seeking feedback in self-directed ways, and reflecting on the evidence gathered. Reflection is therefore not an isolated final activity: it feeds the learner’s next interpretation of criteria and future action. The model helps explain why self-assessment requires more than asking students to assign themselves a mark.
Why it matters
Educators can support the cycle by making standards discussable, teaching learners how to find and interpret feedback, and structuring reflection so that it produces concrete decisions for subsequent work.
