The article enlightens that the rapid pace of transformational changes, which are inherent in a globalized world, during the twenty years of the Bologna process launching led to the expansion of its value space coordinate system and increase in the tools of fundamental values of higher education approval and implementation among the participating countries and European organizations. It is grounded that during the Bologna process and EHEA development to the list of fundamental values (academic freedom, institutional autonomy, indivisibility of teaching and research, preservation of the European humanism traditions) were added: state responsibility for higher education system, involvement of students and academic staff in the governance of higher education, following the academic integrity, democracy, human rights, higher education quality assessment, mobility, inclusiveness, etc. taking into account the national legislative frameworks. It is presented that an important step towards strengthening fundamental values is the establishment of the European Higher Education Area and European Research Area, as well as their consolidation in the near future. The EHEA and ERA creation in the Bologna process system led to the development of the higher education institution’s development strategy, in particular defining its mission, vision, aim, etc., where values are the main basis and guide for institution and society in general and also for academic staff. The university’s academic staff are obliged to identify themselves with the institution’s values, be their carriers in the students’ environment and society, be active their «transmitters». The main value principles implementation in higher education not only consolidates the Bologna process participating countries, but also ensures the implementation of the EHEA and ERA strategies globally and their distribution in the world.

This article contributes to the conceptual and empirical distinction between (the assessment of) appraisals of teaching behavior and (the assessment of) self-reported competence acquirement within academic course evaluation. The Bologna Process, the current higher-education reform in Europe, emphasizes education aimed toward vocationally oriented competences and demands the certification of acquired competences. Currently available evaluation questionnaires measure the students’ satisfaction with a lecturer’s behavior, whereas the “Evaluation in Higher Education: Self-Assessed Competences” (HEsaCom) measures the students’ personal benefit in terms of competences. In a sample of 1403 German students, we administered a scale of satisfaction with teaching behavior and the German version of the HEsaCom at the same time. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the estimated correlations between the various scales of self-rated competences and teaching behavior appraisals were moderate to strong, yet the constructs were shown to be empirically distinct. We conclude that the self-rated gains in competences are distinct from satisfaction with course and instructor. In line with the higher education reform, self-reported gains in competences are an important aspect of academic course evaluation, which should be taken into account in the future and might be able to restructure the view of “quality of higher education.” The English version of the HEsaCom is presented in the Appendix .

The Bologna Process, Information and Communication Technology, and market forces have brought manyinnovations and great changes to higher education systems throughout Europe. Reforms in higher educationhave taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, manycountries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ stylewhich often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomouslearning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for theindividual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and theimportance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promotingautonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. Thepaper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher EducationManagement program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learningfor students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.
