Persons as they mature acquire a variety of criteria for self-evaluation. Persons' productivity and sense of well-being depend critically upon the congruence of their criteria for self-evaluation with their abilities, limitations, inclinations, social matrix, etc. Lack of congruence can lead to a non- productive life and/or a profound sense of dissatisfaction, even unto death. A high level of congruence can lead to a productive life and a sense of appreciation for those who facilitated the development of that congruence. When that appreciation leads to supportive action a positive feed-back loop may operate to facilitate the development of congruence of criteria for the next generation. There are implicit criteria for self-evaluation hidden in the grading practices which are common in our educational systems. The presence of these criteria (even though only implicit) has a significant influence on the future lives of the students who experience the grading practices. The fact that criteria are not articulated explicitly leaves students all the more the victims of any incongruence between the criteria and the realities of individual student lives. It would be helpful to articulate the criteria and associated assumptions (of our traditional grading practices) so that real students may critically examine them and so not remain enslaved to them. It would be helpful if students were assisted in the development of personal criteria for self-evaluation so that there might be a greater degree of congruence, productivity, and self-realization. It may be that the criteria for self-evaluation which a student acquires through education are more significant than are the specific bits of knowledge and particular skills acquired. If this be the case, the fact should be considered while planning ways to help students acquire knowledge and skills which they value. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
