These are examples of alternative modes of assessment. We will not go through in detail, you can refer to our webpage if you want more details. First is self assessment where teacher is the facilitator who should create conditions to foster learner independence and develop the learners’ “how-to-learn” skills. Teacher to train the learners to assess themselves, reflect on their learning experience and identify their strengths and weaknesses. To be able to perform self-assessment, learners need preparation and guidance and a great deal of practice in order to do it successfully and feel comfortable about it.  The advantages of self assessment is that it allows the learner to monitor his own performance in a stress-free setting. It also gives him the feeling of responsibility, self-reliance and this in turn may enhance motivation.
