Self judgement is comparing one's performance to a predetermined goal or standard. There is a student that every time the class gets back from art she cries because she is judging herself off f what the art teacher has drawn and showed her how she (the art teacher) has completed the activity. Self-judgment is one of three sub sections under self-regulation. The other two are self-observation and self- evaluation. Students need to master the first sub section before moving to the next section of self-regulation. From my time in the classroom I have witnessed this child observe her own work and then judge what she has done based on the requirements given to her. Through she tries her best to follow all the instruction I feel as though she has not master the skill of self- evaluation because she judges herself so harshly. If she tried her best that is all that should matter to when it comes to evaluating herself and not how well she can draw because not everyone can be good at everything and it is hard to be the best at everything. To build this students confidence up my CT tried comforting her the first couple of times she cried but after she realized it happened every day after art she just started to ignore her because she did all she could to tell her that her drawings were good and that she didn’t have to be the best at everything.
