Continuous Assessment Rubrics Based on Professional Skils.Teacher Collaboration Networds Based On Icts

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to promote the innovation and teaching improvement in a broad number of completely different subjects. The contribution of the project is to enhance the quality of the teaching on the different degree courses involved at University of Seville and University of Extremadura: Primary Education, Pre-primary Education, Sport Physical Education, Law, Nursing and Business Administration. This objective is concreted in: a) designing assessment activities to support innovative learning and to promote the use of ICTs such as tools for teaching, b) consolidating an interdisciplinary network of teachers for the use of innovative methods of teaching, c) creating new teaching materials. Concretely, the consolidation of the network is relevant for (1) the development of methodological innovations based on the significant learning of students and the different kinds of assessment (based on statistical programs), (2) the creation of new teaching resources that would be shared through our website (http://usinnovadocentia.es), (3) the production of an Excel package where all the assessment of the rubrics were processed. In order to share innovative experiences in the field of education and innovation research with other experts, we are going to attend different conferences (8th International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation – Seville, 2015-; 5th International Conference on Best Practices in ICT – Malaga, 2015). Additionally, we hope to be able to develop a research work considering this experience in order to be published in a top journal in the education field. The project was applied for funding at University of Seville. In July, we received a positive answer. Currently, this project is being implemented (first semester of academic year 2015-2016 – June to January)
