Abstract

In September 2005, a group of lectures started an Educational Evaluation Network of university teaching in order to carry out some methods and educational assessment systems which may empower student autonomy. At the moment, forty eight people from fifteen universities make up this net and all together are carrying out an educational research project. The main purpose of our project is to design and implement educational assessment systems according to Higher Education European Area. In this paper we show: a)- the main purposes of our net and the educational research Project that we are carrying out during 2005-06 and 2006-07; b)- The work process and the methodological issues that we are dealing with; c)- the main characteristics of the assessment systems that we share; d) Finally, we also show the first findings according to three categories: advantages, difficulties and key points to be considered.
