Accuracy in Preschool Teachers'Self-Assessment——Comparing with Qualification and Objective Assessment
Teachers'self-assessment serves as a crucial foundation for diagnosing professional abilities and implementing targeted training.Moreover,it fulfills an inherent requirement for autonomous and lifelong learning.The accuracy of self-assessment plays a pivotal role in determining its effectiveness.However,there is a dearth of systematic research examining the accuracy of self-assessment among preschool teachers and whether variations in accuracy exist among teachers with different backgrounds.The current study aims to examine the accuracy of preschool teachers'self-assessment of abilities by considering their qualifications and objective assessment as reference points.Sub-study 1 analyzed self-assessment scores and qualification information of 2 288 teachers,while sub-study 2 compared the self-assessment of 6 523 teachers with objective assessment scores.The findings are as follows:(1)There was a lack of consistency between teachers'self-assessment scores and their qualification levels,with a significant prevalence of overestimation;(2)The skewness coefficient,correlation coefficient,absolute accuracy,and bias index collectively indicated a lack of consistency between teachers'self-assessment and objective assessment scores;(3)Teachers with different teaching years displayed variations in their self-assessment of abilities,representing the"Dunning-Kruger effect."Therefore,it is necessary to facilitate the integration of self-assessment and professional development and establish a virtuous cycle between heightened levels of professional ability and more precise self-assessment.Further research should focus on establishing a supportive ecosystem conducive to teachers'self-assessment and enhancing the quality and efficiency of self-assessment in practical settings.Increased efforts to integrate subjective and objective assessments could drive innovation in self-assessment methods,leading to greater accuracy and efficiency.
