Self-assessment processes developed by students of early age were studied. Preferably in a quantitative analysis, the relationship of self-efficacy dimensions, self-esteem, self-regulation, language, metacognition and self-evaluation of 305 Chileans who attend nursery schools with various administrative units was examined. Supported by qualitative records of children's speeches six instruments linked to the studied variables (Self-concept test; SRO Test Language Test; Metacognition Scale; Interview and Self-Efficacy Self-Assessment Test) were used. The results indicate that these dimensions were associated with self-assessment with different levels of correlation. All these dimensions considered as independent variables explained 50% of the variability in self-assessment; self-regulation and language are the variables that contribute most. No statistically significant difference between boys and girls was evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current educational landscape appears immersed in a context however, where higher education is experiencing probably the most important structural renovation in recent decades. These changes require university professors to incorporate new assessment methods for evaluating the acquisition by students of the powers provided in its degree. To this purpose, the assessment has to win in content, since it has become a teaching tool that serves both the teacher and the learner, developing basic formatting functions. Assessment strategies are applied to achieve work objectives outlined in the new curricula must be developed with a strong educational, offering the correct answer to an education focused on professional skills. The methodological approach should be encouraged to enhance learning skills for independent learning and continuing from a collaborative work, while providing the student becomes the protagonist of the teaching and learning. Under these principles our goal is to develop and implement assessment strategies which we believe best meet the needs identified during this process of renewal of our educational practice that traditional methodologies more widespread use.
