Competences assessment in higher education

Resumo

In the EEES, the present article raises the need to generate a change in the assessment processes, and not only in the designs or in the methodological proposals, to emphasize the development of the competences. For it, we split of the conceptualization of the competences, we analyze the implications that this new approach generates on the work of the professorship in general and on the teaching especially and we distinguish the characteristics that an evaluation of the learnings must have to be a real competences assessment.
