Abstract
The current educational reality in the field of Higher Education is characterized by the implementation of the European process of convergence. A key factor is the student’s leading role in the model of competence based learning, in which the process of evaluation is a key factor to be developed. In the current study, five university teachers from the University of Deusto designed an interview as a tool for the assessment of four generic competences. This interview was applied to 21 students in a social entrepreneurship course. In order to be consistent in the assessment, evidence of performance was previously defined. Finally, the Coefficient of Similarity of Gower was applied in the process of validation of results. These suggest a high similarity in the evaluation of evidences among the five teachers, thus providing reliability to the measurement. In conclusion, the reliability of assessment can be improved by reaching a consensus in the evaluation criteria among professors and a tool for evaluation is provided in this paper.Downloads
