One’s perceived competence relates to participation and effort and can vary depending on the self-evaluation sources that athletes value. Ruble and Frey (1991) theorized that phase of skill development may affect one’s preference for different sorts of competence information. The present study tested Ruble and Frey’s model using a sample of 466 adult tennis players. Skill level was athletes’ United States Tennis Association rating. Participants rated the personal importance of tennis and the importance of different sources of self-assessment information. Results showed that beginners were more likely to value temporal comparisons, and advanced players were more likely to value social comparisons. Players rating tennis as highly important were more likely to value temporal comparisons and effort for self-assessment. The findings support Ruble and Frey’s model.

Trabajo Colaborativo

El proceso de autoevaluación y evaluación de una institución educativa, por parte de un organismo acreditador, implica que un grupo de académicos, directivos, administrativos y personal de apoyo trabajen de forma colaborativa para el logro de los objetivos, sin embargo, este trabajo debe ser organizado por un pequeño grupo de personas, una comisión de acreditación o un coordinador general, por lo que en este artículo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la división y organización de las actividades involucradas, así como de los roles de los que conforman la comisión. Así mismo, considerando que una de las principales tareas durante el proceso de autoevaluación es la recopilación de información conformada por una gran cantidad de documentos físicos, carpetas, archivos y documentos aislados, se sugieren algunas herramientas digitales para que esta actividad implique un menor esfuerzo y una mayor organización, además de tener mayor transparencia y colaboración. The process of self-evaluation and evaluation of an educational institution, by an accrediting institute, implies that a group of academics, managers, administrative staff and support staff work collaboratively to achieve the objectives, however, this work must be organized by a small group of people, an accreditation commission or a general coordinator, so this article presents a methodological proposal for the division and organization of the activities involved, as well as the roles of those who make up the commission. Likewise, considering that one of the main tasks during the self-assessment process is the collection of information consisting of a large number of physical documents, folders, files and isolated documents, somedigital tools are suggested so that this activity involves less effort and a greater organization, in addition to having greater transparency and collaboration.

At present, the state of health of young men deserves special attention on the part of the state, since they are not only the economic, social, demographic, but also the defense potential of the country. The evaluation of the health of young people of their own health in terms of the ability to perform certain social functions and roles, that is, self-evaluation of health, is important in assessing health. In order to study the opinion of the young men about their health and their compliance with the requirements of military service, an anonymous survey of 325 senior pupils of four Yakutsk general education schools was conducted. It was found that many young men of Yakutsk low estimate their readiness for military service. An analysis of the self-assessment of the degree of physical training made it possible to establish that more than a third of high school students believe that they have poor or insufficient physical training, more than a quarter believe that they are not physically ready for military service. At the same time, less than a third seek to improve their physical training through regular physical training and sports, the remaining boys regularly do not engage in physical culture and sports, explaining this subjective reasons. Most know that there are such diseases in which one does not join the army, and one in four believes that he has such a disease. Of the 100 senior pupils, 8,2 ± 1,5 assess their health as bad, 11,2 ± 1,8 consider that for health reasons they are not fit for military service, at the same time 42,4 ± 2,8 believe that to military service they are only limitedly fit or temporarily unfit. Statistically significant differences in the self-assessment of health and the degree of physical fitness between the Yakuts and the Russians were not established.

Self-evaluation is an opinion which is shaped and transformed along with human age. The younger a child is, the more superficial and situational character the self-assessment has. Its level depends on the acquired experience – the cases of success and failure. Moreover, notional thinking develops gradually with the age, changing self-evaluation into an in-depth opinion. In the text, the research results are presented of self-evaluation of borderland children and youth in the aspect of their self-assessed life achievements in regard to their potentialities (individually specified measure of quality) and the evaluation of school results (socially specified measure of quality). This constitutes a record of the current state and the one nearly 25 years ago, which also takes into account the respondents’ age and residence place. What is comprised here as well are the different dimensions of the young’s self-evaluation and its significance for their spiritual development, which is the essence of education.
