Abstract
The Universitat Politècnica de València has introduced thirteen transversal competences in the curricula of undergraduate and graduate degrees. One of the transversal competences is “Analysis and Problem Solving”. This competence had been assessed non-uniformly in the Master Degree in Advanced Engineering Production, Logistics and Supply Chain due to the fact that the assessment lacked a comprehensive and accessible tool to the students that exposed the indicators and levels of achievement of the competence. In addition, it was important to design a tool where all the instructors agreed on the main features so that the tool could be used in both semesters by instructors aiding to support the formative assessment of the competence. This paper presents a methodology and the design of a tool to perform formative assessment of analysis and problem solving competence. It had been implemented in three courses (three pilot applications) and five learning activities to support the formative assessment as well as to update the tool with the feedback collected by each pilot application. The analysis of the pilot applications show the positive results obtained and the recommendation of students for its implementation.
