Innovation in Project Based Learning Evaluation Systems

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: to know the resources and evaluation techniques that are used when teachers work with Project Based Learning (PBL), and identify the statistically significant sociodemographic differences on the evaluation system in the PBL. The exploratory method used was a non-experimental quantitative type, through a questionnaire designed ad hoc in order to know the opinions about the evaluation in the PBL, and the number of teachers who participated was 43. The results led us to conclude that teachers consider the evaluation of the teaching and learning process with this methodology important, as well as the use of different evaluation instruments, which help to evaluate in the short and long term, as well as to evaluate the work of the team; and among the evaluation instruments, the rubrics are very well valued, especially among women and younger teachers.
