The capability to identify and make a judgement about the quality of own and work of others is known as evaluative judgement. Such capability is crucial for learners and their learning trajectories, allowing them to become job-ready graduates and life-long learners. The overall concept is newly named but existed in different forms and shapes in the literature. There is sporadic literature investigation of evaluative judgement development by educational technology. Self-assessment, peer-assessment and portfolios in the online learning environment bring various educational values and benefits. Each of these pedagogical activities can contribute to the development of evaluative judgement in an online environment enhanced by educational technology. The primary purpose of this paper is to expand the discussion about the development of evaluative judgement using educational technology. This paper provides some rationale for the inclusion of selected pedagogical activities in the curriculum and actively using them in student-centred education.

Members of a residential leadership community reported whether they had practiced specific leadership skills in the preceding semester and, if so, how well they believed they had performed on that skill. Results were compared with the responses of peer observers. Self-reports of leadership practices were confirmed by peer reports in 72% of cases. Self-assessments of the quality of performance were confirmed by peer assessments in 83% of cases.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the maturity of human resource management (HRM) processes of the Sazehgostar Co. based on human resource (HR) process survey tool (PST) and provide solutions for them. Design/methodology/approach The HR PST was adopted as the reference model. Data were collected through interviews with HR experts and reviewing organisational documents. A scoring system (based on RADAR logic) is introduced to score the interviews and documents. Findings Each element of HR PST consists of ten maturity levels. The results of the assessment showed that the overall average of the organisation’s HRM processes maturity is at level 2. The process of data management and HR systems with a score of five received the highest score, and the organisational capability development, talent management and rewards and recognition processes with a score of 1 received the lowest score. Practical implications These findings enable management and HR management to measure the quality of HR processes and help them to prioritise development actions. Originality/value The existing literature does not present empirical research in the field of the maturity of HRM. Also, the analysis method used in this study will help organisations to perform self-assessment and determine the maturity of their processes.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The positive effect of peer assessment and self-assessment strategies on learners' performance has been widely confirmed in experimental or quasi-experimental studies. However, whether peer and self-assessment within everyday mathematics teaching affect student learning and achievement, has rarely been studied. This study aimed to determine with what quality peer and self-assessment occur in everyday mathematics instruction and whether and which students benefit from it in terms of achievement and the learning process. Two lessons on division were video-recorded and rated to determine the quality of peer and self-assessment. Six hundred thirty-four students of fourth-grade primary school classes in German-speaking Switzerland participated in the study and completed a performance test on division. Multilevel analyses showed no general effect of the quality of peer or self-assessment on performance. However, high-quality self-assessment was beneficial for lower-performing students, who used a larger repertoire of calculation strategies, which helped them perform better. In conclusion, peer and self-assessment in real-life settings only have a small effect on the student performance in this Swiss study.</p>

In recent years there have been major changes in the structure of statistics education at the Faculty of Medicine. A major factor in this change is the increased importance of practical projects evaluated by peer evaluation. In this discussion, I describe my experience of applying peer evaluation in teaching and show results of comparison of peer evaluation and self-assessment on the same projects. The mean score of peer evaluation was 9.1, but the mean score of self-assessment 9.4. Students with lower grades had higher tendency to overestimate their own ability than students with higher grades. Peer evaluation has led to increased quality of assignments and provides students with useful practical training in presentation and interpretation of statistical results. Peer-assessment has been a pleasant experience for both students and teachers.

The core question that this chapter examines is how music technology in, for, and as music education should be assessed in teaching and learning contexts. Commencing with an explanation of the concept of the personal best in the context of running culture, it suggests that this approach to assessment, which incorporates self-assessment and peer-assessment, ought to be used in music education settings. The chapter then presents a rationale for delimiting the definition of “music technology” as a means of making music, before proceeding to discuss the theories of assessment that provide a framework for suggesting ways of realizing learners’ personal bests. The chapter argues that peer feedback and self-feedback are synergistic strands of the feedback loop that learners must enter to experience an authentic and complex learning environment, and that summative assessment can and should be a natural outgrowth of formative assessment. Ultimately, the aim of this approach is to construct a context in which learners of all levels and abilities can engage in meaningful experiences with music technology while providing a framework to evaluate the quality of the learning that has taken place from multiple perspectives. If teachers and learners commit to this iterative process of assessment as learning, one in which they start but do not stop, then they will have entered the feedback loop.

A model of a student portfolio for improving the quality and effectiveness of students’ pedagogical practical competencies during their practical academic preparation is presented. The structure of the model includes target, structural-content, organizational-procedural and evaluation block. Content and process of developing the learning portfolio reflects the level of formation of three key competencies of teachers: to work with others; to work with knowledge, technology and information; to work with society. The technology includes a variety of reflexive exercises, variable-creative learning tasks with a dialogic style, with a practical focus, reflexive techniques, methods, tools and forms of organization. The criteria for assessment and self-assessment are: professional-value-cognitive and professional-operational-active. The indicators are: motivational; cognitive-two-way reflexive grounded analysis/ self-analysis; peer assessment and self-assessment; variable-creative proposals.

Students in Islamic schools are expected to achieve the indicators of spiritual intelligence that have been predefined in the Learning Implementation Plan. However, in reality the values internalized to obtain the spiritual competence have not been able to completely change the characters of the students.This study aimed to analyze and to evaluate the achievement indicators of Islamic spiritual value competence, the methods of internalizing Islamic spiritual values, and the factors influencing the internalization of Islamic spiritual values for the students at two private Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic senior high schools), Ruhul Islam Anak Bangsa and Darul Ihsan. The study used a qualitative approach, conducted in Ruhul Islam Anak Bangsa and Darul Ihsan from April 2016 to August 2018. Data collection techniques were interview, observation, self-assessment, peer assessment, and documentation. Data analysis was done by organizing and codifying the data, enriching the theory, interpreting data, and writing the report. Findings showed that in both schools the achievement indicators of Islamic spiritual values included instilling understanding and strengthening faith ('aqidah), initiating worship routines, showing steadfast (istiqāmah) and sincere (ikhlaṣ) attitudes in carrying out the practices of drawing close to Allah (taqarrub ilallāh), transforming bad behaviors into those that reflect religious values, displaying Islamic identity, and maintaining fraternity (ukhuwwah) in everyday life. The methods of internalizing these Islamic spiritual values were carried out by lecturing and religious gathering (halaqah), discussion (jadal), storytelling (qiṣṣah), dialogue (ḥiwar), conveying good messages (mau'iḍah al-hasanah), self-discipline (riyāḍah), role model (uswatun al-ḥasanah), conveying excellent rewards (tabsyir), outpouring thoughts and feelings (muḥāḍarah), encouragement and deterrence (targhib wa tarhīb), contemplation (tafakkur), pondering over (tadabbur), and concentration (tawajjuh). The success of internalizing the values was largely influenced by good relations between teachers and students, the learning methods applied, good learning environment conditions, adequate learning infrastructure and facilities, the commitment to the quality of education, and the participation of committees, founders, government, and stakeholders in the management of education. To conclude, value education should not separate spiritual and social attitudes. Social values can become spiritual when implemented under the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The values that have been successfully internalized were those with a sense of well-being, such as the goodness rooted in a community.

The article deals with teachers‘ use of language assessment to guide students‘ language proficiency development and academic achievement, the positive benefits of formative assessment for guiding teaching and learning and its characteristics. It is specially noted that language assessment is a purposeful activity that gathers information about students‘ language development. Assessment can be intended to improve teaching and learning or to evaluate the outcomes of teaching and learning. Special attention is given to formative assessment that is described as assessment for learning, in contrast to assessment of learning, i.e. summative assessment. The article focuses on the analysis of formative assessment and its procedures in English classes such as questioning, quizzes, discussions, interviews, role plays, observations, teacher-made tests, checklists, self-reports, journals, projects. Various types of formative assessment, namely self-assessment, peer assessment and alternative assessment are highlighted in the paper. The characteristics of teacher-based assessment that distinguish it from other forms of assessment are described. Teachers assess their students’ learning to determine the effectiveness of their teaching. It should be emphasized that the quality of formative assessment depends on its beneficial uses and value for teaching and learning and teachers‘ judgments and classroom uses of assessments have profound effects on the lives and opportunities of students.
