Student´s Summative Assesment in Math in Relation to Selected Factors
CHYTRÝ, Vlastimil
The issues of formative and summative assessment have been discussed for quite some time inside the didactic research community and these two types of assessment are put in complementary ambivalent positions. However, not many times are they discussed according to other factors, such as student self-assessment in terms of metacognitive monitoring, which is suitable for more cognitively demanding tasks. This article puts summative assessment in relation to student self-assessment via specific testing tool focusing mainly on logical thing and mathematical skills of a particular student. Other factors of motivation, such as age or gender will be also discussed further. It shows, that neither age nor gender are of any limit to student self-assessment, or performance, both in tests of local thinking, but also in tests of mathematical problem-solving skills. On the other hand, there seems to be a strong dependence between all the previously mentioned and school evaluation/assessment. The most important finding however, is that there was no difference detected between self-assessment levels of students and different levels of assessment in education. Many studies point out the importance of self-assessment in terms of metacognitive monitoring which influences the overall school performance.
