Do you think that there is a relationship between social strategies such as (asking, cooperating, and empathizing with others )and EFL students attitudes toward using self and peer assessment?
Buenas tardes. Creo que el hecho de utilizar diversas estrategias sociales con los estudiantes va a influir significativamente en la actitud que asuman frente a su proceso de aprendizaje. De manera que si se fomenta la cooperación dentro de la clase, el estudiante va a sentir mayor respaldo y su autoevaluación se va ser mejor. La respuesta es si.
social strategies surly impacts the students attitudes toward using self and peer assessment since it effects their development of using a language to express themselves and their performance.
Good viewpoint dear Dr.Khansaa. There a direct link between the use of social strategies by teachers and the development of students' oral communication ability.
Nowadays people know that English language has its advantages.
English is the language of science, of aviation, computers, diplomacy, and tourism. Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational company within your home country or of finding work abroad.
English is the official language of 53 countries. That is a lot of people to meet and speak to.
English is spoken as a first language by around 400 million people around the world.
English is the language of the media industry. If you speak English, you won’t need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy your favourite books, songs, films and TV shows.
Of course there is a relationship between social strategies and peer assessment as the latter involves students taking responsibility for assessing the work of their peers against set assessment criteria. They can therefore be engaged in providing feedback to their peers (sometimes referred to as peer review), summative grades (moderated by you or your colleagues), or a combination of the two. It's a powerful way for your students to act as the 'assessor' and to gain an opportunity to better understand assessment criteria It can also transfer some ownership of the assessment process to them, thereby potentially increasing their motivation and engagement. In doing so, your students might be encouraged to learn more deeply, building up their understanding, rather than just their knowledge of the facts, as well as gaining an insight into their own approach to an assessment task in comparison to their peers. This makes peer assessment an important component of Assessment for Learning, rather than simply a means of measuring performance. You may find that peer assessment is particularly useful in aiding your students to develop judgement skills, critiquing abilities and self-awareness.
You can use peer assessment for assessing both individual efforts and contributions to group work across a wide variety of activities. You can design peer assessment to be done openly, encouraging comparison and discussion, or anonymously depending on the assessment task and context. The key point is for you to to ensure that the participants (both your students and your colleagues) understand the purpose of peer assessment and what is expected of them. Preparation and clear assessment criteria are essential to supporting 'good' peer assessment.
Thank you for sharing the question and let me summarize as follows:
Actually any strategy could influence the psychological roles as follows:
Attitude
Perception
Personality
Learning
In this way we observe that the roles as mentioned in the above are arranged by the social strategies.
The most important things is that the society plays as social position for the students so that they decide to achieve their own place in the society in which they follow relevant strategies.
Kindly note that strategy is like a horse which pulls its own carriage like attitude and etc.
Students are aware regarding the social standing for which they have with them necessary knowledge , understanding ,& in case of need they get the opportunity to have the discussion with the students members . With this it is likely that student may get with that social strategies & if the languages is foreign their action of social strategies should not come in the way of foreign language in the sense that the self has fully understood the area of social fabrics & in this case students should not find any difficult in their attitude & approach .
