This study aims to understand university professors’ perspectives on the learning assessment process, including its importance during teaching and learning, their conceptualization, and their considerations in their practices. The research used a grounded theory approach to recognize evaluation as a dialogical and intersubjective space. The methodology consisted of an open survey and a semi-structured interview with faculty professors from a university in northern Mexico. The findings highlighted the importance of educational institutions, emphasizing that faculties prioritize evaluating quality based on relevance, alignment with learning objectives, continuity throughout the process, and feedback. These aspects align with recent approaches that consider evaluation as a process that promotes learning, as evidenced by the high saturation rate in the theoretical sampling. Furthermore, the study revealed that the institution’s educational model, curricular design, and evaluation policies significantly influence the faculty members’ perspective. As a result, educational institutions must consider these factors when formulating an evaluation model, thereby making the research directly applicable to the work of educational policymakers and university professors. |
