Evaluation of specific mathematical competences in the training of teachers of Media Education in Chile

Abstract

In this article, themes are identified and proposals made by teachers of mathematics teachers are described, regarding strategies for their evaluation. Through a mixed methodology of deepening, a survey was applied in a first phase to 56 trainers of 25 Education Programs in Mathematics Pedagogy from all over Chile, about their beliefs and dispositions regarding the competency-based training approach, in the same way criteria, methods and associated instruments. In a second phase, based on the results of the survey, an intentional sample of three trainers was selected, who were interviewed on two occasions, with the purpose of deepening central aspects of the implementation of the competency-based training approach, particularly in the evaluative field. The results reaffirm the convenience of the integration of knowledge and show the feasibility of moving from traditional forms of evaluation towards more integrating and holistic strategies.
