  • Adequate education systems should not focus only on the transmission of knowledge fromteachers to pupils. It should be concerned with the fundamental aspect of education, which is learning.To achieve this objective is important to develop the autonomy of students. Therefore, selfassessmentprocesses may contribute to the successfully transition of students form pre-university contexts to both university programs and the labour market.This research develops a longitudinal study that analyses the links between self-assessmentprocesses and positive academic results. The influence of maturity is also analysed. Discussion ofresults and implications for practice are also included.
