Learning assessment procedures
- FORMATIVE EVALUATION is ensured by the tutorial system during training experiences; in particular by the Tutor / guide who accompanied the student and looks at the performance. It occurs in three distinct phases of the AA (December, March and July). It is centered on the core issues. At present the experiences of Job are quantified in the number of 2 for the first year of the course and the evaluation forms are made available to students on the Web site. The methodology is the structured clinical examination and objective (Objective Structured Clinical Examination- OSCE) which consists of 2 parts: the first contains a list of skills, behaviors, expected results, while the second documents the level achieved for each competence through a measuring scale (grading with verbal multidimensional descriptors). The Tutor / guide documents for the most important skills the level reached by the student, avoiding to measure it with a vote.
SUMMATIVE OR CERTIFICATIVE EVALUATION AT THE END OF YEAR is the synthesis of information obtained from the two annual assessments. The final score is computed on a score in tenths attributed to two tests, also integrated with data on students from various sources (evolution in the skills documented in the internship profiles, quality of any report, projects, individual works, participation in other initiatives). The examination is run by a committee chaired by the Director of Vocational Education with a professional Tutor representation, in some cases it is also considered the presence of other teachers.
