Abstract
Valencia Polytechnic University (UPV) is innovative as far as its training and evaluation considerations are concerned. It has introduced the project “Incorporating transversal competences into UPV graduates’ curriculum” as a strategic challenge, which promotes the training and assessment of transversal competences in several UPV degrees. This work presents an innovative group work experience by assigning roles in preparing a portfolio. Students participate in team work by playing a role whose tasks and competences are previously determined by the teacher, who also describes the role and its competency profile. Students participate in the portfolio by playing the role that they are committed to and co-assess it by a performance assessment system designed in the group. The main work conclusions drawn are that this innovative classroom-based strategy motivates students, helps organise group work and encourages collaborative learning.
