Learning Achievement Assessment Guideline, Design and Implementation

Abstract

We are presenting the design and implementation of the Training Achievement Assessment Guideline. It is applied at the end of the learning stages and in the process of awarding the architecture degree. This assessment tool was designed by the faculty staff together with an external curricular consultant. It was conceived considering the crossing between Design Courses syllabuses and the graduation profile definition, taking as a starting point the expected achievements established in the Curricular Articulation Diagram. This guideline constitutes an assessment and monitoring tool that establishes the baseline to be achieved by a graduate in order to accomplish the declared graduation profile. It also allows us to inform the different stakeholders (students, teachers and authorities) about how the students are advancing in the learning process. Throughout the implementation year it has proven to be a very useful and relevant tool.
