Self-Evaluation and Performance on Classroom Tests.
Egelston, Richard L.; Egelston, Judy C.
In an investigation of the accuracy of self-evaluation on test performance, 210 junior high school science students were asked to predict their scores before and after taking each unit test. Absolute differences between the two predictions and actual scores were the random variables analyzed. Analysis of variance and Markov chain analyses revealed significant differences by achievement level, practice, and in rate of learned and perhaps should be incorporated into the school curriculum.
