    Evaluación continua de conocimientos vs de competencias: Resultados de la aplicación de dos métodos valorativos diferentes
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2010-07-01) Calvo Bernardino, Antonio; Mingorance Arnáiz, Cristina
    The aim of this article is to compare the effects of changes in the teaching methodology and in the assessment system on overall student performance evaluations. The previous assessment system was a continuous assessment and the new method applied is a formative method in competences, which is closer to a formative process. Thus, based on the experience and results of the past seven years in the subject of Financial Systems, a fourth-year subject in the Economics and Business Administration degree program, we get to the conclusion that the closer assessment systems are, the more similar student results (marks) become. Besides, the pass mark (mark between 5 – 6.5 over 10) is the most frequent grade in the competences assessment system and, at the same time, class attendance becomes more necessary to pass the subject in this assessment system. Finally, we have observed that students are more pleased when teaching methodology assesses competences and not only knowledge.
