their work and an important part of the feedback to be taken into account when planning
future work. Self-evaluation is an important factor that all successful educational
institutions around the world apply in their quality control mechanisms, and that in higher
education is an imperative and a necessary condition for the accreditation of higher
education institutions, and lately even in Serbia. However, self-evaluation is currently not
well known and remains a major challenge for most institutions of higher education in
Serbia. Its mechanisms and procedures have not been institutionalized or standardized, so
every institution, in its own way and in accordance with its own capacity, is trying to meet
new requirements that are before it. What is now considered as the biggest challenge for
most higher education institutions in Serbia is a proper reflection and a clear definition of
learning outcomes, and their coordination with the objectives and content of study
programs.
This paper is the product of work of a three-year project of self-evaluation of Pre-School
teacher training College in Kikinda', which is still in progress, and for which a large
variety of different instruments has been developed. This paper presents the components of
self-evaluation tools and methodologies in terms of objectives, outcomes and content of
learning that are important indicators of effectiveness and efficiency of learning of each
educational institution and the weak point of most higher education institutions in Serbia.
The main objective of this work, which is a result of the motivation of the authors to share
their ideas with their colleagues, is announcing a potential method of self-evaluation and
taking the first steps towards standardization of the process.
Keywords: Self-evaluation, higher education, learning outcomes, effectiveness, efficiency,
