Abstract :

This paper will build on the findings of a pilot study to investigate the extent to which self- assessment and self-evaluation are implemented to assess science teacher students and to put into practice re-formed assessment system. The self-assessment and self-evaluation in science teacher education is s an important aspect of quality in science teacher training. Currently these approaches to assessment have called for more authentic student assessment. Teachers who include authentic assessment in their repertoires are driven by a belief that alternative assessment experiences should prepare students for life in the real world. While teacher-made tests give us information about student learning, they do not provide all the information. Alternate forms of assessment can generate that other information.
