General Description

Colapsar todo Expandir todo
La asignatura Assessment tiene un enfoque integral que abarca tanto la teoría como la práctica en la evaluación educativa, específicamente en la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera. Se fundamenta en la comprensión profunda de las metodologías evaluativas que permiten medir no solo el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, sino también el desarrollo de competencias cognitivas, comunicativas y socioemocionales. Esta asignatura es clave para que los futuros profesionales adquieran las habilidades necesarias para diseñar, implementar y ajustar evaluaciones diagnósticas, formativas y sumativas basadas en los principios de validez, fiabilidad y equidad; asegurando que los instrumentos evaluativos sean pertinentes y alineados con los objetivos curriculares. Además, se fomenta el análisis crítico de las tendencias emergentes en la evaluación educativa, como la evaluación basada en competencias y el uso de tecnologías digitales para el seguimiento y la retroalimentación de los aprendizajes.
La asignatura está organizada en dos unidades:
UNIDAD I: What is the theory behind Assessment?
UNIDAD II: Using Presentations to Assess Students' Performance
La disciplina tiene correspondencia directa y aporta a los objetivos de la planificación nacional establecidos en el Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2021 – 2025 y tiene plena concordancia con los niveles de la planificación macro curricular, a partir de los tres ejes de la política pública: Eje 1: Derechos para todos durante toda la vida. Eje 2: Económico. Eje 3: Social. Aporta al cumplimiento del cuarto Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible: Educación de Calidad.
