Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Given the scale and pace of change of sustainability challenges in the world today, it is vital for students to develop into expert learners who can assess their abilities and knowledge and identify future learning needs. Self-assessment is not a straightforward task and requires support to develop. The current study examined the effect of using self-assessment over time, combined with reflection, on students’ abilities to develop self-assessment skills. The study was conducted in an undergraduate course that uses project-based, problem-based learning to engage students in real-world projects regarding sustainability. The findings indicate that while students can engage in quantitative self-assessment, there are concerns with accuracy and metacognition. Reflection regarding their self-assessment contributes to addressing these issues. In addition, to be effective, students require guidance on how to recognize and explore what they do not yet know. Finally, they also need support in recognizing learning as an active process that occurs over time. This study frames self-assessment as a tool for developing informed judgment of their own learning and future learning needs rather than as a tool for summative assessment of past learning. Implications for future research are discussed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
