Abstract

Self-assessment gives students opportunity to be involved on the assessment process not only for the writing process but also to help students predict their writing performance. For this reason, this research and development study was aimed at developing self-assessment checklist as an instrument for assessing young EFL learners’ writing performance. The checklist was developed in the form of metacognitive self-assessment. Some elements constellated in the development of the self-assessment checklist were related to the criteria set in the scoring rubric, namely content, organization, language use, mechanics, and writing presentation aspects. Two experts were involved to validate the instrument. During panel analysis, it was approved that the instruments have represented the characteristic of a checklist, where a column of statements and responds are available for the students to put a check on. In terms of their construct, both experts agree to the point that all items are appropriate with the theoretical frameworks which underlie the development of the checklists. To provide empirical evidence, a try out was conducted by involving 142 sixth graders. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the result of the try out for construct validity analysis. The data worthiness analysis shows that the KMO is .677 and the correlation coefficient of all items are >.5. As the conclusion, all items (32 items) are considered as valid. Therefore, the self-assessment checklist is ready for field test which the result can be used to verify the readiness of the self-assessment checklist to be implemented to help young learners understand their writing performance better.
