Self-assessment activities of first-year students in philosophy, politics and economics degree

Abstract

This communication presents the freshmen’ selfassessment conducted in the 2024-2025 academic course in the subject ‘Principles of Political Economy’ of a Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree. Students’ assessment is a relevant activity as explicitly written in the New Learning Context (NLC) implemented at La Salle Universitat Ramon Llull (La Salle-URL). Students were required to submit a self-assessment after completing a relevant course activity, and to provide a predicted final grade for the subject two weeks before the end of the program. The instructor did not review these self-assessments until all course activities (including the final grade) were completed. The findings indicate that most students who responded to the survey estimated their grades accurately.
