- Data from a survey in Stockholm are used to look at differences between how students´ self-concepts and self-efficacy relate to actual reading skills, differences between how boys and girls estimate their reading, and differences between how older and younger students estimate their reading. A quarter of the students made correct self-assessmmments of their reading. A majority overestimated their skills. The ability to self-assess reading skills among boys and girls seems to depend on how they are asked. There was only a small difference in favor of older students when students in Grades 3 and 8 were compared.

Student self-assessment and reading

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is interesting to examine students´ self-assessment and reading for two reasons. One reason is to get an idea about how reliable students self-assessment is and another reason is that self-assessment in itself is an important skill needed as a part of the competence to learn as such. During the period 1997- 1999 were 20,000 students in grade 3 and 15,000 students in grade 8 in Stockholm tested in reading. The students had to complete a reading test, but also complete a questionnaire in which, among other questions, students were asked to make a self-assessment of their reading skills. The younger students were also asked to make a self-assessment of their reading based on how they judged their ability to read subtitles on TV. The surveys included all students in grade 3 and 8 in Stockholm in these years. Participation in the survey was compulsory for all schools with students in these grades. The paper will examine the correlation between results on the reading test and the students´ self-assessment of their reading skills. These correlations will be further analysed taking age, gender and other variables into consideration.
