Bildungsziele
To acquire theoretical and methodological knowledge on the main functions of educational assessment (diagnostic, formative, summative) and on techniques of systematic observation in school contexts. Knowing how to design and apply observation and assessment tools oriented towards the development and certification of competences, with particular attention to authentic and situated tasks. To develop the ability to construct and use assessment rubrics for the detection and documentation of disciplinary and transversal competences, also through digital tools and artificial intelligence applications. Promote the use of formative feedback and self- and peer-assessment strategies, to foster the regulation of learning and the empowerment of students in their own educational pathway. Integrate digital technologies into assessment practice, experimenting with platforms, data collection tools and automated feedback systems, consistent with the latest teaching innovations. Develop reflective and critical skills in the analysis of observational and evaluative data, in order to design customised and inclusive teaching interventions, also with a view to continuous improvement of educational action. To know and apply systematic observation techniques and assessment tools for competences. Design authentic tasks and evaluation rubrics. Use feedback in a formative key and promote self-assessment. Integrate digital tools and artificial intelligence applications in educational assessment.

Art der Prüfung
Final project consisting of the design of a competency-based observation and assessment plan for a specific educational or disciplinary context, including observation and assessment tools, a well-justified use of digital tools, and a critical analysis of a teaching case. Oral presentation and discussion.

Bewertungskriterien
Quality and coherence of the observation and assessment project; relevance of the tools developed and of the competency-based approach; capacity for critical analysis and theoretical-methodological reflection; clarity of the oral presentation and argumentative ability.
