Abstract:

In this paper we present the development of different steps to create an Excel spreadsheet in order to analyze the frequency of use of the assessment systems in High Education courses and its application to the evaluation of transversal skills. In particular, data has been taken from Degree in Tourism, Degree in Audiovisual Communication, Degree in Business Administration and Management, Degree in Management and Public Administration, Degree in Engineering in Industrial Technologies, and Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering.

The information collected from these Bachelor's degrees refers to the assessment systems used in the different subjects composing the curriculum (oral exam, Open-answer written test , multiple choice, conceptual map, academic studies, one minute questions, diary, portfolio, project, case, observation, co-evaluation and self-assessment). The aim is to carry out an exhaustive study of these data through comparatives to see if there are differences by the type of degree, Faculties and Schools, the type of courses, etc.

On the one hand, we present the analysis that must be carried out to obtain conclusions about the types of assessment systems most frequently used in each degree by considering different characteristics of the subjects (language of instruction, use of flip teaching, academic year, character - basic, compulsory, elective). On the other hand, we want to know more about the most frequent evaluation tools used exclusively in the evaluation of transversal skills.

In both cases it is a question of comparing all these data among different degrees in order to obtain a more overall picture of the relationship between assessment systems and the acquisition of transversal skills. Our final goal is to show a reflection comparing the results obtained in degrees from the field of engineering and in the ones about social sciences field.
