Authentic Assessment for Learning by Competencies for Careers in the Health Area

Abstract

At CFT ENAC Chile, the curriculum is focused on active methodologies and skills development. Currently, the evaluations carried out focus on the application of traditional tests, without considering the development of competences, for which it is proposed to elaborate a proposal for authentic evaluation instruments of learning for the subject of Control of Vital Signs and First Aid, which allows to evaluate the competencies of the study plan of careers in the health area. Because of this, the following guiding question arises: What learning evaluation system is the most appropriate to apply in the subject of Control of Vital Signs and First Aid of the health careers of the CFT ENAC? To resolve the above, a dossier of evaluation instruments was developed for the achievement of learning in a competency-based approach that, after its implementation, is incorporated into the subject program as part of its evaluation system.
