This line of work is flanked in the Faculty of Educational Sciences in the field of evaluation for sustainable and participatory learning since 2016/2017 academic course. Drawing from a teaching approach based on research, the projects associated (OQD2016/2018; OQD2018/2020; ARMIF2018/2020; OQD2020/2022) aim to develop strategies and resources to assess the competencies of students that promote self-regulation of their learning and professional development; to strengthen the evidence on the role of peer evaluation in the evaluation process and also taking feedback as an important asset in group learning; and to study the use of digital technology as a transformation tool for evaluation by configuring and following five guiding principles: making evaluation more authentic, accessible, automated, continuous and secure.
