Basic Concept
What is Self & Match?
Self & Match is a behavioral self-monitoring system designed to help students take ownership of their actions while allowing users to track and support positive behaviors. It combines student self-monitoring with matcher evaluation, and promotes accountability, reflection, and consistency in behavior.
- 1Students rate their own behavior during specific time blocks using predefined questions.
- 2Matchers later review and "match" or "no match" those responses based on actual behavior.
- 3The goal is to reinforce self-awareness and honesty, while giving the team valuable data.
Why it's useful
Helps students build self-regulation and reflective thinking, supports classroom management by promoting positive behaviors, and works in both device-enabled and paper-based classrooms.
