Abstract
This paper’s aim is to show a method to semi-automatically evaluate the competence level reached by students through their university training. The Bolonia Plan’s evaluation has led to a review of university teaching programs, with the aim to set the terms for “learning outcomes” and competence development. Thus, competences become learning achievements that influence the students’ knowhow, their goals, the teachers’ role, and the evaluation and development tasks. This new conception is leading us to design programs for students in order to achieve competences and the need to evaluate them (European Commission in The Bologna process and the European higher education area, 2015). Given the fact that you cannot achieve competence out of the blue, it involves knowledge, and it is necessary to break it down into domain levels, as defined by the education institutional and the stablished deadline. This model is firstly based on competences and identifying indicators to prove them. Subsequently, we make a template for the study and level plans and for the competence indicators so we can assess their development. Finally, the subject program’s design must include evaluation and instruments to achieve this goal. The template will allow the professor to achieve competences belonging to his/her subject, and it will be globally tested. At the final stage and given that competence levels are broken down into the full plan subjects, we are searching for a global view so that we can certify the competence scope.
