Tutorial Overview by Using Self-Evaluation and Self- Correction Techniques

Abstract

The self-evaluation technique (a new method) was used to enable students to assess their peers' works and discover their weaknesses or errors. Then, the self-correction technique was used to correct the errors. Using these two techniques, students simply eliminated the obstacles they had been facing without even asking. These two techniques are a crucial way to guide the students on the right route or path in the teaching and learning process. A qualitative research strategy has been used to underline reasons and opinions for further knowledge of this phenomenon. Leading to the theoretical cognitive modeling of the phenomena by using a survey questionnaire of 38 items with different Likert scales focusing on the problems and obstacles encountered by the students during the learning process 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, AL-Yarmouk University College for the academic year 2021-2022. Lawshe's Method (CVR) and Cohen's Kappa Index (CKI) have been used to ensure the content and face validity of the survey's proportions. Using self-evaluation technique and self-correction technique enhance the pedagogical process of Iraqi universities by making the students evaluate themselves, find learning obstacles, and then correct them.
