Why Self-Assessment in META-COIN Matters
All members of our international partnership members participated in making these materials, therefore there are differences, for example sometimes the outcomes and objectives are more formulated for the trainers, sometimes more for the learners. Also the citation and referencing styles differ throughout the materials. We have used AI, sometimes for drafting materials, surely for the initial translations, and then proofread the texts.

Module 0: Instructions and Self-Assessment
The META-COIN project is designed to help learners strengthen important meta-competences: skills that go beyond specific knowledge and support lifelong growth, collaboration, and adaptability. A key part of this process is self-assessment, which we advise you to do before starting your learning journey to support your choice of module and topic.
 
The self-assessment has two moments:
 
  • Before learning: to help you reflect on your current strengths and areas for development, and to support your choice of the most relevant module and topics.
     
  • After learning: to allow you to look back, notice what has changed, and see how your learning in the hybrid or e-learning course has helped you grow.
     
This cycle is powerful because it makes learning visible and motivates you to keep developing (Thomas et al., 2017; Taras, 2010). It also helps you take ownership of your learning journey—an important step in building self-regulated learning skills (Eva & Regehr, 2007).
 
META-COIN offers three modules—Self-Development, Working in Teams, and Dealing with Change—each with four specific topics. Below, we explore why self-assessment is especially important in each of these areas.
