چکیده

Transitioning smoothly from traditional learning of language, memorization and rote learning, implemented in teacher-centered classrooms to independent learning in learning- and learner-centered classroom and along with it, moving from teacher-assessment paradigm to self-assessment one faces teachers with a dilemma of deciding on learners’ final improvement and learning. Given that challenge, the present study aims to compare learners’ self-assessment results with those of teacher assessment in three proficiency levels. To that end, 190 B.S Iranian students of engineering, in both genders, were randomly selected on the basis of intact classes. The participants’ proficiency levels were determined according to their score in the Cambridge Quick Placement Test. Prior to instruction, the participants assessed their reading comprehension targeting their ability to use three frequently required reading skills i.e. previewing, scanning and skimming by using Likert Scale questionnaire along with open-ended questions and then they received a pre-test prepared by the teacher. Again after instructing each skill, participants assessed by themselves and by the teacher. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS and t-test and ANOVA to understand the differences between two types of assessment. Intriguingly, the results from both tests, self-assessment and teacher-assessment, were pro self-assessment. In all three proficiency levels, the self-assessment results were in accord with the results obtained from teacher-assessment. the Findings of this study implies that it’s time language teachers trust in learners and allow them to assess their learning as monitor their learning process.
