Coherence of the pedagogical model and the evaluation of the learning process in a university in Bogotá

Abstract

This research arises from the professional performance as university teacher and the worry by professional quality of the graduate in Colombia, since the graduate must develop professional competences during the teaching-learning process for professional performance. The objectives were: a) to inquire about the coherence between the pedagogical model and the evaluation practices to the student; b) to identify the elements of the current pedagogical model; c) to know the student’s assessment process and d) to create strategies to improve the teaching-learning process. This study was developed in specific fields of nursing. Methodology: descriptive study of mixed transverse cohort, data collection: instruments such as semi-structured interviews to teachers and virtual surveys to students. Consecutively, a triangulation between interviews’ results, surveys and theoretical framework was conducted. The results produced strategies and conclusions to enhance the evaluative practices based on the constructivist pedagogical model.
