Caracterización del desempeño de estudiantes de licenciatura en humanidades y lengua castellana, en pruebas saber – Pro lapso 2012 – 2017.

Abstract

This research project arises from the need to characterize the performance of students of the bachelor´s degree Humanities and Spanish Language Program (LHLC) of the University of Pamplona in relation to Saber-pro state tests, during the years 2012 to 2017, the main objective is to characterize the performance by competences that the students of said program have achieved, through the classification of the levels of the performance that students reached in this test and of the identification of the factors that determined said performance. The theoretical framework of this research project is based on the contributions made by different authors such as Magalys Ruíz Iglesias on competences assessment, Cecilia Braslavsky, on competence-based training and ICFES on the evaluation of education in Colombia. The methodological development of this research project is developed from a mixed research methodology, based on a qualitative approach through the methods of case study, grounded theory and participant observation. It was carried out using techniques such as the unstructured interview, the collection and recording of statistical data and the documentary analysis. The results of this research project show the characteristics of the performance of the LHLC program over six years, in order to make reflections and conclusions about the different correlations that exist between teacher training, curriculum development and competence assessment.
