La evaluación del aprendizaje en la universidad según la experiencia de los estudiantes

Abstract

In the last decades a new way of understanding assessment has gained strength, as an instrument to improve learning. Using survey methods, we have analyzed if this concept corresponds to the actual assessment in Spanish universities. The experiences of 4580 students of 9 universities and 54 degrees show that the assessment that is carried out in practice generally follows a traditional model, with evident lack of students' participation and feedback. A reflection on the relevance of these flaws is offered and some suggestions to improve the assessment of learning at university are given.
