Competency Assessment in the Personalization of School Learning

The new parameters of human learning have forced us to change our perspective on what, how and for what to teach, however, we have not yet achieved significant changes on what, how and for what to evaluate. We appropriate educational approaches and practices that promote the personalization of learning and the acquisition of competencies, but how do we assess them? Putting competency assessment at the service of the personalization of school learning is not sufficiently clear because there is widespread confusion about what competencies, assessment, competency-based assessment, competency-based learning, competency-based curricula, among others, mean. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to investigate and understand how competency-based assessment is approached within the framework of the personalization of school learning, understood as a set of strategies aimed at promoting the achievement of learning with a high personal meaning and value for students.
