Congruencia entre el diseño curricular y la evaluacion de los aprendizajes esperados en catedras impartidas en una Universidad Chilena

Abstract

This study is a quantitative research that assesses the internal consistency of study programs at a private university. Specifically, it examines the assessment of learning and the consistency between planned learning goals and learning outcomes assessment. To this aim, volunteer teachers were considered, who offered their programs to participate in this study. Using Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning levels, we analyzed twelve programs. We found differences between formative intention and design of the assessment forms. We conclude that the dominant practice is focused on learning seen as an instruction. Secondarily, there are some evidences of an emergent practice, in which learning is seen as a construction. On the last pages of this paper there is a proposal of work for teachers.
