Modalidades participativas de evaluación: Un análisis de la percepción del profesorado y de los estudiantes universitarios

The use of participatory assessment methods is one of the main lines of research and innovation in higher education. The aim of this research was to analyse the perception of both university teaching staff and students regarding the use of self-assessment, peer-assessment and co-assessment. Two questionnaires were designed for this purpose, one for the lecturers and one for the students, by means of which the perceptions of 3,459 students and 424 lecturers of seven Latin American and Spanish universities from six different countries were measured. In conclusion, there is, in the first place, evidence of an agreement regarding the scant use of participatory assessment methods in universities and, secondly, there is an emphasis on the need to establish training processes for both teaching staff and students in order to disseminate information concerning these methods and put them into practice in order to improve students´ independent and strategic learning.
