CRESPO, Dámaso. Is it possible to assume the autoevaluation of the students as the final mark of a subject?: the case of biogerontology. Educ. méd. [online]. 2003, vol.6, n.1, pp.44-46. ISSN 1575-1813.

This study correlates the marks obtained in the test of the optative subject Biogerontology (CO), and those self-attributed by a group of students upon level of study (AS) and dedication (AE) to the subject. Statistical analysis used the correlation coefficient (rxy). The results showed a low correlation when CO-AS (0.05) and CO-AE (-0.07) marks were compared (p<0.05). A high value (0.77) was obtained when both subjective marks were compared (AS-AE). Our results well suggest that subjective marks should not be used as the final marks in this subject.
