The NEED
… holistic scenarios (MFP) that support the assessment of knowledge and competences attained by students in a more integrated way
(Brown, S. and Glasner, A., 2003, Prades, 2005)
1
to identify and assess key aspects that facilitate the competences development of students through the final project within the virtual learning environment (VLE) at the UOC
WINTER Template
"Developing and Evaluating competences
through the Final Master"
2 Our PROJECT
our goals… 1. A multimedia guide for students, for developing a MFP in a virtual learning environment 2. A multimedia guide for tutors, for MFP mentoring and assessment 3. Methodological guidelines for MFP virtual defense
Develop 3 tools
3 Block 1: Concept of competence. Types of competences that are addressed in the MFP
Block 2: The process of development and evaluation of MFP. Phases
Block 3: Guidelines, strategies and resources for the MFP
Description of our work (I)
Block 4: Validation of the proposed methodology and guides
Methodology 1. Group work sessions 2. Master tutors Interviews 3. Online surveys (Masters
students) 4. Follow-up meetings
Blocks
4 RESULTS (Block 1: Competence)
Own definition of COMPETENCE
A competency is a complex knowledge, the result of integration, mobilization, and adequacy of knowledge skills and attitudes developed to perform a task, duty or role, in the context of professional practice
Unanimous consensus about the definition of: a) 4 basic competences listed in the DUBLIN DESCRIPTORS +
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES (AQU, 2004, p. 18) b) Need to work and evaluate both instrumental and specific
types of competences c) Need to pre-select each specific program competences that
are used in the MFP, depending on the scope and type of project
3
Own definition of INSTRUMENTAL COMPETENCES
These are skills common to various professional profiles, referring for example to the capacity of analysis and synthesis, general knowledge, communication, leadership, etc.

4 RESULTS (Block 2: Phases)
3 phases
1. OPENING: in establishing the topic and a first contact between the tutor and / or MFP coordinator, student and the MFP itself
2. DEVELOPMENT: where it generates an iterative process from proposals to the student and the tutor, the design and development by the student and the continuous feedback sent by the tutor
3. CLOSING: divided into two stages: 1. Stage: Focused on the final drafting and preparation of
the defense 2. Stage: Emphasizes the process of defending itself and the
virtual debate or discussion

5 Next steps
We are…
… looking for different scenarios for MFP virtual defense in both synchronous and asynchronous modes in virtual learning environments for the closing phase
… designing a pilot project, in order to apply the methodology contained in guides and tutorials, and validate their adequacy
… developing the following products:
1. A Guide to tutoring and assessing aimed at MFP tutors 2. A Protocol for virtual defense of MFP which will provide
students methodological guidelines to keep in mind when preparing and conducting the defense of the MFP
