Abstract

POLTRONIERI-MENDEZ, Sarita  and  GARITA-GONZALEZ, Gabriela. Proposal for a Software-Based Learning Objective Verification Technique for Didactic Units. Educare [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.345-364. ISSN 1409-4258.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/ree.25-2.19.

Objective.

The study aims to propose a revision technique for verifying learning objectives in didactic units (UD), in contrast to the subject’s curricular proposal at the Distance State University of Costa Rica (UNED).

Method.

Based on a mixed approach, two main tools were used: a systematization of experiences and an expert focus group (11 women and 4 men) that was conducted to analyze the reliability and the proposed design.

Analysis of results.

The main finding was the validation of a revision technique that supports the didactic unit production process. This revision technique is a six-step process that involves, among others, an evaluation rubric and indicators that deliver the final result as a percentage of the verification of the course’s development of its learning objectives within a didactic unit.

Conclusion.

Implementing the Microsoft® Office Excel software helps transform what is usually a manual process into a semi-automated form. This provides a partial or total verification of the learning objectives developed in the UD and contributes to the standardization of the current processes.
