The evaluation by competencies in degrees. Development of an experience in the Business Administration Degree using and validating a rubric

Abstract

The European higher education area is involving changes in the teaching model of the University. One of the key issues is the way to evaluate the acquisition of skills, and how this evaluation may influence the learning process. In this sense, the headings appear as an instrument of interest in the evaluation process. Through this proposal we share an educational experience through a rubric to assess the competencies acquired in the development of an academic work, as well as the validation of its utility for the performance of the students. The results obtained through a questionnaire to students about the perception of the usefulness of the rubric indicate that the rubric is a tool that stimulates and encourages students in the performance of the work, as well as the dedication and effort in learning complex tasks. In short, it has been put into practice and contrasted that a rubric allows a more objective, training and assessment transparent learning of the student under a competence approach.
