Assessment of the Achievement of the Graduation Profile in University Degrees: Trends and Challenges
Abstract
The expectation of the university student is to train professionally to enter the labor field showing optimal performance. For this, it must demonstrate the achievement of the graduation profile in the degree awarded by the university, according to its educational model. The question is how are the competences declared in the graduation profile developed and evaluated, what are the mechanisms for ensuring progress and achievement that meet the expectations of the student, employers and society. For this reason, the objective was to analyze the main trends and challenges regarding the assessment of the achievement of the graduation profile in the university titles. A descriptive and interpretive study was carried out based on the documentary meta-analysis of 21 publications located in Google Academic, Scielo, Dialnet, Academic Source Plus and Ebsco. The inclusion criteria were: scientific articles that present experiences evaluating the achievement of the graduation profile, various degrees or university titles, with a publication period of 2009 to 2019. Five tendencies of assessment of the achievement of the graduation profile were identified: a) coherence between study plan and instruments of assessment of subjects with the graduation profile; b) at the end of university studies; c) progressive during training; d) progressive and the end of studies, and e) evaluation by graduates and employers. All of them show significant contributions in terms of strategies, instruments, actors involved and results that open research and development perspectives. It is concluded that there is a need to implement a progressive, comprehensive and participatory system for assessment of the achievement of the graduation profile in university degrees, based on knowledge, previous experience and the challenges posed to the university.
