Resumo: | The present study aims to demonstrate that “Self-assessment” technique applied with EFL (English as a foreign language) students can improve their speaking skills as well as their self-confidence when speaking. The research was conducted with 34 young male students from the Ecuadorian Navy from Ecuador. The students were trained on how to self-assess their speaking skills focused on the content, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and interaction. They self-assessed using a checklist and the teacher used a rubric to evaluate them. The design of the research was applied through a pretest and a posttest. Between the pretest and a posttest, the researcher implemented an innovation called “The Backward Design” to help students focus on the target, which is having a casual conversation in pairs about daily topics in English with self-confidence. A mixed method was used since the data collected during this study were quantitative and qualitative. The results compare the grades from the pretest and the posttest to determine if self-assessment improved or did not improve the students’ speaking skills and their self-confidence at the end of the innovation. Finally, an argument at the end of the research takes place to discuss the similarities and differences with other investigations. |

La investigación se realizó con 34 jóvenes estudiantes varones de la Armada del Ecuador de Ecuador. Se capacitó a los estudiantes sobre cómo autoevaluar sus habilidades orales centradas en el contenido, la gramática, el vocabulario, la pronunciación y la interacción. Se autoevaluaron usando una lista de verificación y el maestro usó una rúbrica para evaluarlos. El diseño de la investigación se aplicó a través de un pretest y un postest. Entre el pretest y el postest, el investigador implementó una innovación llamada “The Backward Design” para ayudar a los estudiantes a concentrarse en el objetivo que es tener una conversación informal en parejas sobre temas cotidianos en inglés con confianza en sí mismos. Se utilizó un método mixto ya que los datos recopilados durante este estudio fueron cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los resultados comparan las calificaciones de la prueba previa y la prueba posterior para determinar si la autoevaluación mejoró o no mejoró las habilidades orales de los estudiantes y su confianza en sí mismos al final de la innovación. Finalmente, se lleva a cabo una argumentación al final de la investigación para discutir las similitudes y diferencias con otras investigaciones.O presente estudo tem como objetivo demonstrar que a técnica de “Autoavaliação” aplicada com alunos de EFL (Inglês como Língua Estrangeira) pode melhorar suas habilidades de fala, bem como sua autoconfiança ao falar. A pesquisa foi realizada com 34 jovens estudantes do sexo masculino da Marinha Equatoriana do Equador. Os alunos foram treinados para autoavaliar suas habilidades de fala com foco no conteúdo, gramática, vocabulário, pronúncia e interação. Eles se autoavaliaram usando uma lista de verificação e o professor usou uma rubrica para avaliá-los. O desenho da pesquisa foi aplicado por meio de um pré-teste e um pós-teste. Entre o pré-teste e um pós-teste, a pesquisadora implementou uma inovação chamada “The Backward Design” para ajudar os alunos a se concentrarem no objetivo que é ter uma conversa casual em dupla sobre tópicos diários em inglês com autoconfiança. Foi utilizado um método misto, uma vez que os dados coletados durante este estudo foram quantitativos e qualitativos. Os resultados comparam as notas do pré-teste e do pós-teste para determinar se a autoavaliação melhorou ou não as habilidades de fala dos alunos e sua autoconfiança ao final da inovação. Por fim, um argumento ao final da pesquisa ocorre para discutir as semelhanças e diferenças com outras investigações.Sapienza Grupo Editorial2022-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/49210.51798/sijis.v3i6.492Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol. 3 No. 4 (2022): Contemporary interdisciplinary affairs; 351-362Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol. 3 Núm. 4 (2022): Temas interdisciplinarios contemporáneos; 351-362Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; v. 3 n. 4 (2022): Tópicos interdisciplinares contemporâneos ; 351-3622675-978010.51798/sijis.v3i4reponame:Sapienza (Curitiba)instname:Sapienza Grupo Editorialinstacron:SAPIENZAenghttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/492/334Copyright (c) 2022 María Paola Moncayo Mendoza , María Rossana Ramirez Avilahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoncayo Mendoza , María Paola Ramirez Avila, María Rossana 2022-12-26T20:59:27Zoai:ojs2.journals.sapienzaeditorial.com:article/492Revistahttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJISPRIhttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/oaieditor@sapienzaeditorial.com2675-97802675-9780opendoar:2023-01-12T16:43:02.346317Sapienza (Curitiba) - Sapienza Grupo Editorialfalse |
