Self-assessment as an instrument to develop autonomous learning in postgraduate students
Abstract
The objective of this research was to implement self-assessment as an instrument to develop autonomous learning in postgraduate students. The methodology used was quantitative. Its design was cross-sectional and non-experimental. The scope was exploratory and descriptive. The case study was used as a research technique. The results obtained guide and facilitated the self-assessment process of postgraduate students to develop autonomous learning that positively affects their learning. At the same time, the relevance of the results obtained lies in the assessment of the students' achievements in their methodological, operationalization, dissemination, and digital skills, based on self-assessment as a mechanism to develop their reflective and self-critical capacity. The exposed results also moderately promote the understanding of the complexity of self-assessment and its relationship with the learning process. It is concluded that self-assessment is an appropriate tool since it is in accordance with the maturity characteristics of postgraduate students to recognize their strengths and weaknesses in their learning, at the same time it allows them to know themselves when self-assessing. It is also concluded that self-assessment must be part of the learning process since it helps students to be self-critical, reflective and leads them towards autonomous learning through the development of cognitive and metacognitive skills to self-direct and self-regulate their learning.
