Question

Discuss the cognitive aspects of self and how they are being assessed?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The self-concept is a knowledge representation that contains knowledge about us, including our beliefs about our personality traits, physical characteristics, abilities, values, goals, and roles, as well as the knowledge that we exist as individuals.

In social psychology, self-assessment is the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity. It is one of the motives that drive self-evaluation, along with self-verification and self-enhancement. Sedikides (1993) suggests that the self-assessment motive will prompt people to seek information to confirm their uncertain self-concept rather than their certain self-concept and at the same time people use self-assessment to enhance their certainty of their own self-knowledge.. However, the self-assessment motive could be seen as quite different from the other two self-evaluation motives. Unlike the other two motives through self-assessment people are interested in the accuracy of their current self view, rather than improving their self-view. This makes self-assessment the only self-evaluative motive that may cause a person's self-esteem to be damaged.

In educational psychology and education, self-assessment "involves a wide variety of mechanisms and techniques through which students describe (i.e., assess) and possibly assign merit or worth to (i.e., evaluate) the qualities of their own learning processes and products" (Panadero, Brown & Strijbos, 2016 p. 804). The educational research has identified different types of self-assessment implementations, considering different features. Over the years, there has been a focus for "summative" purposes of self-assessment (e.g. students "guessing" their score that was compared to the teacher's or peer's). However, especially for the last two decades since the inception of formative assessment, more attention has been paid to formative purposes, where the focus is on using self-assessment to increase students' learning and self-regulated learning. Currently, two meta-analyses support the effect of self-assessment interventions in achievement and self-regulated learning and self-efficacy.
