This kind of method is integrated with learning or teaching and when students evaluate their own performances, the responsibility for the level and quality of their learning remains more in them than the teacher. Self-assesment can improve the efficiency of learning. It helps in developing the ability to analyze and form critical attitudes towards the learning process. Self-assessment offers an opportunity for students to undertake the responsibility for their own learning and it also contributes to giving a more pronounced sense of ownership of what they learn. The aim of the research was to investigate whether teachers give priority to self-assessment as an important tool for the teacher’s formative assessment.
