Abstract
Peer assessment is learners considering and specifying the level, value or quality of a product or performance of other equal-status learners. Self-assessment is learners making judgements of merit/worth about their learning processes and outcomes of their learning - identifying standards and/or criteria and making judgements about the extent to which they have met them. Both appear equally effective, are used in a wide variety of subjects, and increasingly involve technology. Co-designing explicit criteria with students (yielding rubrics) and managing self-efficacy are major factors, leading to self-regulation of learning. Training is important and critical thinking a frequent outcome.
