Abstract

In this chapter, we clarify the meaning of student self-assessment and advocate for its broader use in psychology curriculum reform. We offer suggestions that teachers can use to empower their students to learn self-assessment skills. We invoke the work completed by the Assessment Group of the American Psychological Association sponsored Psychology Partnerships Project to provide some developmental expectations about how self-assessment can be incorporated into psychology curricula at all levels (Halonen, Bosack, Clay, & McCarthy, 2003). We also comment on the challenges that are inevitable when reformers advocate redirecting time away from content coverage.
