CHARACTER EDUCATION IN CONTENT COURSES: SELF-SCORING AS A MEANS FOR DEVELOPING HONESTY IN STUDENTS

---

As character education is gaining currency, some institutions have
started to incorporate character education into its instructional practices.
However, this is not an easy task. Limited hours of contact and teachers’ insufficient
know-how of teaching and evaluating students’ characters have
hampered the efforts. This paper reports a small effort to shape students’
honesty through self-scoring techniques. An intact class of 19 students who
were taking a content course were instructed to self-score their own works in
two different tests. Their scores were then compared to the lecturer’s scoring.
It was found that the students tend to be honest when the test was not
weighted substantively, but increasingly over-rated themselves on a highstake
test. The paper then discusses the potential and possible weaknesses of
self-scoring technique as a means of cultivating honesty.
Keywords: character education, test, self-scoring, honesty
