Tutorial Overview by Using Self-Evaluation and SelfCorrection Techniques

Abstract

The self-evaluation technique (a new method) was used to enablestudents to assess their peers’ works and discover their weaknesses orerrors. Then, the self-correction technique was used to correct the errors.Using these two techniques, students simply eliminated the obstacles theyhad been facing without even asking. These two techniques are a crucialway to guide the students on the right route or path in the teaching andlearning process. A qualitative research strategy has been used to underlinereasons and opinions for further knowledge of this phenomenon. Leadingto the theoretical cognitive modeling of the phenomena by using a surveyquestionnaire of 38 items with different Likert scales focusing on theproblems and obstacles encountered by the students during the learningprocess inside the classroom. The sample of the current study included(100) participants both (males and females) students of second, third,and fourth-year college students of the English Language Department, ALYarmouk University College for the academic year 2021-2022. Lawshe’sMethod (CVR) and Cohen’s Kappa Index (CKI) have been used to ensure thecontent and face validity of the survey’s proportions. Using self-evaluationtechnique and self-correction technique enhance the pedagogical process ofIraqi universities by making the students evaluate themselves, find learningobstacles, and then correct them.
