Abstract

In the last years we live important challenges in higher education, which generate a great number of innovative proposals. These challenges suppose a shift of culture and are propelled by the new reform directrix of Bologna. As a consequence of these changes the higher institutions experience as well the need of evaluation of quality. In this context, a research project has been carried out with the purpose of evaluating the impact of teaching innovation on the quality of higher teaching practices. The basic dimensions of quality evaluation have been determined and five instruments have been developed: three addressed to the teachers, two concerning the students. These instruments have been used for the quality evaluation of the teaching at three innovative teaching proposals at the University of Barcelona.
