A method of assessment and self-assessment on 40 environmental terms was used. The skill of students to make right decisions about their environmental knowledge was studied. The influence of the differential effect of social status and academic achievement level upon self-assessment was revealed. Comparative analysis of the results from Bulgaria and Turkey showed that most of the students did not reflect critically upon their knowledge and did not evaluate it against school achievement standards.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcademic achievement levelGenderSelf-assessmentSelf-esteemSocial statusBiotechnology & applied microbiologyArticle0004516914000162-s2.0-85024046350636623Supplement 1Biotechnology & applied microbiologyKnowledge Representation; an Enterprise; Business Process
