Reforms in higher education<br />have taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, many<br />countries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ style<br />which often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomous<br />learning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for the<br />individual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and the<br />importance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promoting<br />autonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. The<br />paper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher Education<br />Management program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learning<br />for students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Education in Black Sea Region}, author={MESIRIDZE, Irma and TVALTCHRELIDZE, Nino}, year={2017}, month={Jun.} }
