1. Tools for supporting metacognitive skills and self-reflection
1.3. Self-assessment checklists
These checklists or rubrics can help students especially when they start with developing their monitoring skills since they are easy to use. Students have a list with all criteria that need to be checked upon and they just tick those criteria they looked at. This is a useful tool to be used before the assignment is delivered to teachers to eliminate a lot of unnecessary mistakes and flaws. Teachers can use their own checklists (with a specific focus), however, at a later stage learners can make their own checklists based on the criteria announced for a particular assignment.
