  Abstract

In this study, we analyzed self-assessments presented in Chemistry I textbooks according to the 2015 Revised National Curriculum. The analytical framework, which consists of ‘learning stage’, ‘subject and content’, ‘response form’, ‘scoring criteria’, ‘reference’, ‘assessment criteria’, and ‘content of feedback’, was modified and supplemented based on previous studies. We analyzed ChemistryⅠtextbooks from nine publishers. The results revealed that self-assessments were most frequently presented in the inquiry stage, followed by the closing stage. The majority of self-assessments were to assess learner's competencies and knowledge, while those to assess students’ attitudes were relatively less common. The checklist was the most prevalent response form, followed by rating. Description forms often lacked specific items. Some of self-assessments did not provide response forms. None of the textbooks included scoring criteria, and most did not provide references. Additionally, no textbooks had students to create their own assessment criteria. Feedback contents were provided in a few textbooks, offering either additional learning opportunities or follow-up activities. Based on above results, implications for effective use self-assessments were discussed.
