IMPLEMENTING A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOR MONITORING, EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT

To evaluate teacher performance and get feedback to teachers related to training activity, a working group of lecturers of University Castilla-La Mancha involved in a competency-based evaluation for the learning of Forestry Engineering and Natural Environment Degree in the Higher Technical School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering. We developed planning tools for teachers for monitoring, evaluation and objective improvement, the acquisition of transversal or generic competencies through rubrics.

To monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of the evaluation rubrics, four indicators (compliance, application efficiency, effectiveness and evaluation) were implemented to obtain conclusions directly applied to improve the method of assessment implemented. These indicators claim to be the beginning of a valuation system implemented in a coordinated manner in the degree, with final design of a system of continuous control over time.

The implementation of indicators can form a system of indicators that will be carried out in two phases, implementation of indicators and assessment of suitability. With the information obtained, a proposal for revising and improving the evaluation and monitoring system itself develops. The proposed methodology helps teachers to implement competency assessment tools available and to generate knowledge with which to develop good teaching practices.
