Abstract
RAMIREZ, Silvia; VIERA, Liliana and WAINMAIER, Cristina. Assessment in chemistry universitary's courses: What skills are promoted?. Educ. quím [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.1, pp.16-21. ISSN 0187-893X.
This project consists in analyzing written assessments for university basic Chemistry courses, in order to establish the extent to which they promote the acquisition of competencies that are valued in University graduates from science and technology studies. Activities are classified into three different categories based on the skills required to complete them: 1) Memorizing information and calculation, 2) Management of theories and concepts, 3) Integrating conceptual, methodological and information management aspects. Results show that 77% of the activities fall under category 2, 23% under category 1 and there are no activities under category 3.
