Level of Self-Governance Development in the Student Group Test

Students, class leaders, and educators who want to understand how collective decisions and shared duties work can use the Level of Self-Governance Development in the Student Group Test to examine practical patterns of participation. As a student group self-governance test, it turns perceptions of cooperation, leadership, and shared work into a profile that can support group discussion, planning, and reflection.

What This Assessment Explores

The questionnaire treats self-governance as a group process: students share duties, organize activities, cooperate with other groups, and participate in decisions. For a class self-governance assessment, the displayed scales describe the group’s main dimensions:

• Responsibility (school-wide), 0-1, measures school-wide duties and institutional role: Low 0-0.55; Moderate 0.56-0.85; High 0.86-1. Relationships, 0-1, measures cross-group interaction: Limited connections 0-0.55; Developing cooperation 0.55-0.85; Strong constructive relationships 0.85-1. Engagement (school-wide), 0-1, measures whole-school participation: Low engagement 0-0.54; Moderate engagement 0.55-0.84; High engagement 0.85-1.
• School Self-Governance Level, 0-1, combines involvement, relationships, and school-wide responsibility: Low 0-0.54; Medium 0.55-0.85; High 0.86-1. Responsibility (class), 0-1, measures shared work: Low 0-0.5; Moderate 0.5-0.8; High 0.8-1. Organization, 0-1, measures order and coordination: Low organization 0-0.5; Moderate organization 0.5-0.8; High organization 0.8-1.
• Engagement (class), 0-1, measures participation in class self-governance: Low engagement 0-0.5; Moderate engagement 0.5-0.8; High engagement 0.8-1. Class Self-Governance Level, 0-1, combines involvement, organization, and responsibility: Low 0-0.5; Medium 0.5-0.8; High 0.8-1.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each item uses five ordered choices from Yes to No, including two intermediate positions and Hard to say. The form reports 0-1 coefficients; overall school and class levels use the component coefficients named in their definitions, without a point-by-point formula that can be inferred. As a student self-government questionnaire, it records perceptions of group functioning rather than factual knowledge.

Conceptually, the structure is consistent with Rozhkov's Self-Government Method, which links self-government with responsibility, participation, relationships, and collective activity. Stepanov's recommendations offer a related educational framework for considering group effectiveness. These sources clarify the themes, but do not make this online form a direct adaptation, standardized edition, or validated reproduction of either work.

Self-report scores may reflect current group climate, personal awareness, and candor. The form has no stated population norms or clinical validation, so results are best used to identify priorities for cooperation, organization, shared responsibility, and future collective planning rather than to make a diagnosis.
