In todays social and cultural context, history equally deals with
the socialization and making the educated fit and trained for life in the
society to which he is willing to belong. Therefore, as a school subject,
history is mainly interested in assessing and self-assessing the
studentsresults. In order to forge their own destiny, to become independent
the young students should get to know themselves, should be aware of their
own efficiency at school. An accurate assessment which is of great interest
to the student, leads to a conscions, fair and responsible self-assessment.
There are various ways of self-assessment during the history lesson which
can be applied to different moments of the educational act: a good
knowledge of assessment criteria, filling and controlled self-correction of
evaluation tests, mutually giving marks, achieving individual learning task
and sharing your opinion to the other. An accurate assessment will change
studentsattitude to history, encouraging them to perform better and work
harder, developing their interest for this school subject and science.
History learnes who are motivated perceive goals of various kinds.
Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages students to pursue
a course of action. The capacity of self-assessment provides students
notonly with a satisfactory blend of confidence and enjoyment the ability of
communicating-conveying information, debatingand expressing opinions-
but also with knowledge and using this knowledge in different contexts of
learning. Therefore history allows organizing different activities such as:
involving students in test and reuising exercise making;
drawing up marking criteria together wirh the teacher, the marks
showing studentsprogress;
self-correcting and self-marking;
mutual correcting and marking (student-student);
considering one of teachers examples of assessment (evaluation);
working out revising plans, comparing and discussing them with
other students;teachers fairness when marking students.
Students get to feel the history lesson; they are important by what
they are and what they do. They become the teachers partners in the
educational process, they are responsible for what they learn. At the same
time they change attitude towards history. This one is no longer a subject
where students should memorize past actions but a subject which allows
interpretation, research, discussion of viewpoints. By its feed-bach, selfassessment leads students to get involved (for learnings sake). elfexamination and self-correction of their own knowledge, judging their own
potentiality encourage-by these conscious activities- the achievment of the
main goal of history. Building an independent personality capable of selfeducation, politically aware, acutely aware of stereotypes and prejudices; a
personality who values history not as revenge but as communication and
high moral standards and attitudes.
