Assessment evolution: Introduction of Experiential Learning, use of ICT and influence on academic results and performance

Abstract

Innovation in Higher Education includes not only the implementation of active methodologies, inclusion of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and a changing teacher role, but also the development of new tools and techniques for assessing content acquisition and skills. In this paper, the authors present a preliminary study on the correlation between the implementation of active methodologies, the development of new tools to assess content acquisition and skills and the academic results in several courses belonging to the Degrees in Pre-primary and Primary Education. Modalities include blended-learning and traditional face-to-face learning, and the groups of students vary from less than 10 to 40.
