Description
Summary:[EN] In the last years, there is an increasing interest in the manner that generic or also called transversal competences (TC) are introduced in the programs. Transversal competences are generic and relevant skills that students have to develop while they are studying the different years of the program. These generic competences are to be assessed within the specific activities developed within the courses. For that purpose, the Universitat Politècnica Valencia (UPV) has designed an internal educational project called "UPV transversal competences" in order to support the general aim of the generic competencies assessment in the degrees. In this line, the UPV has granted various innovative educational projects that provide the assessment and collection of evidences on TC. This paper comes from the work of one innovative educational projects and, deals with the case of the assessment of the "effective communication" TC. The main purpose of this work is to present an assessment framework for the effective communication competence in postgraduate programmes at the UPV as well as describe a pilot application. This paper presents both the educational experience and main results obtained.
