B6297 - TECO C (BO1)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the module, the student is able to carry out a self-assessment of their professional skills.

Course contents

The TECO project allows us to estimate the levels of transversal (TECO-T) and disciplinary (TECO-D) skills acquired by university students at the end of the three-year course.

TECO-T detects skills in Literacy, Numeracy, Civics and Problem Solving, believing that they draw on a generalist educational background and that they can be trained during university studies, regardless of the course of study chosen by the student. These peculiarities allow them to be compared between universities and/or study courses.

TECO-D detects disciplinary skills which, unlike transversal ones, are believed to be closely linked to the specific training contents of a degree course. This feature allows them to be compared only between courses of similar nature.

Teaching methods

The teaching methods are those used throughout the entire period of the Degree Course by Teachers and Experts.

Assessment methods

The survey is entirely carried out on an IT platform managed by CINECA.

TECO uses closed-ended questions, given their effectiveness and efficiency in tests that present a significant amount of questions that students must answer in a limited time.

Literacy estimates students' ability levels in understanding, interpreting and reflecting on a text that is not directly attributable to subjects characterizing a specific course of study or disciplinary field.

Numeracy estimates students' ability levels in understanding and solving logical-quantitative problems.

Problem Solving estimates the levels of understanding and resolution of simple and complex problems, as well as an individual's ability to achieve objectives that in a given context cannot be achieved with direct actions or known chains of actions and operations.

Civics estimates the levels of personal, interpersonal and intercultural skills that cover all forms of behavior and that enable people to participate effectively and constructively in social and working life, as well as resolve conflicts where necessary. At the basis of civic skills is the knowledge of concepts such as democracy, justice, equality, citizenship and civil rights.
