Evaluación colaborativa de la metodología docente en el ámbito universitario. Mejora y aprendizaje mediante la innovación y la investigación

Résumé

The search for constant improvement of the educational process in the new university context has become a crucial aspect of quality teaching. The transformation and continuous improvement of teaching activity must go beyond mere compliance with legislation to join the professional responsibility of faculty. We have a collaborative assessment perspective as program evaluation that aim at improving not only the object being evaluated, in this case, the teaching methodology, but also promote accountability and learning of the participants in the assessment. The experience began with the design proposal evaluation by the evaluator to teachers and students involved, to agree on it development, involving participants from the beginning. We did two information collected, in the mid-point for improvements and at the end of the subjects to draw conclusions. We used different techniques and instruments: interviews with teachers and group interviews and questionnaires for students. Overall the experience involved two teachers and 238 students from 4 subjects. Additionally there were three group interviews with students who were not involved to contrasting opinions. The results on the perception of those involved are very positive. The rating in all cases is very high, especially appreciating the improvement for the subjects and the importance of student participation in the process itself. Despite being voluntary and new, has been satisfactorily followed up. Also involved and they were not, both considered that such experiences are not only possible but necessary in today's university. Finally, future applications would be desirable to devote more time to explain and awareness students to get more involved.
