The Assessment of the Learning Process in order to Promote Competencies
Abstract
This paper presents a reflection on the importance of evaluation and its repercussions and provides principles that favour the use of evaluation to promote learning. The implications of competence education lead to considering varied evaluation methods as valid evidences of the students’s levels of achievement. The feedback during the process, the possibility of improving, self-evaluation and peer evaluation, as well as reflection are elements that promote competence development. A practical proposal for the planning of evaluation is presented from the point of view of competence education and a reflection on the implications that this focus entails for university teacher education.Downloads
