The role of self-assesment the interdisciplinary project educating teachers, training people . A view from students’ perspective assessing from self-assessment

The project “educating teachers, educating people” is an attempt to go beyond the original training/education of teachers. This project tries to make our students think critically taking into account three different aspects: interdisciplinarity, self-assessment and participation. Interdisciplinarity is developed by three different subjects (will be later explained). We encourage participation by democratizing the classroom environment. We try to make students aware of their own responsibilities, and we do so by making them feel confident about their own critical abilities. Our intention is that they become used to assess themselves and in that way they become truly engaged in their learning process. The experience is presented from the point of view of the professor and also from the point of view of the student, stressing the importance of assessment process. Apart from our ideas/arguments, we wanted to include our students’ perceptions, allowing the reader to arrive at their own conclusions.
