LEVEL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN TEACHER ASSESSMENT AND SELFASSESSMENT OF ORAL PRESENTATION SKILLS

ABSTRACT

The focus of this research is agreement between self- and teacher assessment through oral presentations and it confirms the expected results already familiar in the literature i.e. students, in general, assess themselves higher than teachers. Assessment rubric of 15 questions with a fivepoint Likert scale was used for both self- and teacher assessment was used. For the analysis, standard statistical techniques in MS Excel were used. The study shows that although the relationship between teacher assessment and self-assessment is weak, it is still statistically relevant and it shows significant difference, but when comparing teacher assessment results with selfassessment results for each teacher separately, some unexpected outcomes emerge. Out of five, only one teacher’s results confirm the well-known assumption – students assess themselves higher than teachers. However, all the others seem to be influenced by some factors and limitations that impose different results than the overall one.
