O Processo de Gestão da Aprendizagem na Escola Politécnica da UNISINOS

Prática Inovadora de Desenvolvimento de Competências Educacionais para a Gestão Universitária

Abstract

In the university educational field, resized, by the extended time of remote teaching in recent years, evidence on learning can inspire the proposition of actions to improve teaching. By the way, National Parameters for Undergrad Engineering Programs determine that these programs establish management of learning processes, which are constituted of: (i) definition of competences to be assessed, (ii) definition of instruments for assessment, (iii) assessment of competences, (iv) result analysis, (v) proposition and implementation of improvements in the curriculum and (vi) evaluation of these actions. In this context, developing and implementing such a process to modernize undergrad engineering programs is assumed as a strategy of the program known as Projeto de Modernização da Graduação (PMG), developed at Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) since 2019 as an initiative of CAPES and Fullbright. The objetive of this work is to analyze the implementation of the assessment of learning process at UNISINOS Escola Politécnica, whose implementation process was designed as a training program for coordinators of the undergrad programs involved aiming at their development as managers of the process and, in the first stage, at the mapping of the curriculum so as to define the learning competences considered as core specific knowledge in each program. These curriculum maps make the result of coordinators' development visible, not only revealing their learnings in relation to the stages and characteristics of the process, but also making it evident that the process itself ended up being a locus for undergrad modernization, oriented by an authorial and innovative positioning of the University in relation to curriculum management processes.
