Examining the Relationship Between Student Self-Assessment Practices and Academic Performance: Input for School Improvement Plan

This study examined the relationship between the academic performance of Senior High School graduates in a rural Philippine town and their self-evaluation methods. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design and included a sample of thirty individuals who had recently finished their schooling. The study employed academic records, questionnaires, and performance reports as methods of data gathering. The study employed Barry Zimmerman’s Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) Theory, which emphasizes the need of self-monitoring, self-reflection, and goal-setting in achieving successful learning outcomes. A clear correlation was discovered between students’ academic performance and their engagement in self-assessment methods. In order to develop metacognitive ability, the research concluded that it is crucial to actively engage in education, conduct self-assessment, and aim for exceptional academic performance. The study’s flaws mostly stemmed from its limited scope, which only targeted a certain secondary educational institution fresh graduate. Nevertheless, it stressed the importance of doing further research in other educational contexts to verify the accuracy of the findings.
