TECO-T: ASSESSMENT OF TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCIES
TECO-T assesses general competencies that can be developed during the academic path, and are comparable across universities and study programmes.
• Literacy: comprehension and interpretation of texts.
• Numeracy: solving logical-quantitative problems.
• Problem Solving: ability to deal with complex problems and unfamiliar situations.
• Civics: interpersonal and intercultural competencies related to active citizenship.
TECO-T assessments are administered via a digital platform and are structured as a single 50-minute test.
TECO-D: ASSESSMENT OF DISCIPLINARY COMPETENCIES
TECO-D focuses on the assessment of disciplinary competencies, directly related to the specific contents of students’ academic path. Unlike transversal competencies, these are only comparable across study programmes of a similar nature.
Disciplinary working groups collaborate with ANVUR to:
- Define shared core disciplinary contents, structured according to the five Dublin Descriptors.
- Design disciplinary tests based on multiple-choice questions.
- Involve universities in the project.
TECO-D assessments last 90 minutes and are administered at a later stage compared to transversal tests.
ANVUR provides technical and scientific support to the Working Groups (GdL) through technical sheets for defining core disciplinary content and developing multiple-choice questions.
The Agency also provides technical-scientific support to the GdL for test validation.
