摘要：This work describes the implementation and results of a teaching innovation consisting in employing tools for comprehensive evaluation in a course in Applied Economics. To resort to an evaluation system that combines prospective, formative and summative instruments fulfills the needs of the new paradigm of teaching and learning the European Space of Higher Education and the most qualified expert voices in this field preconize. Particularly, we introduce tools for prospective (a level test), formative (a sample exam and a review test) and summative assessment (some more conventional instruments complementing the review test) in a course on Economics of the Welfare State. In order to judge the impact of our teaching experience, we perform an ad hoc survey among students and we compare the students’ academic performance before and after the introduction of these tools and the students’ satisfaction with course with the one reported in other similar courses. The students of the course where we implement the innovation show a higher degree of satisfaction with the strategy of comprehensive evaluation and we observe a positive correlation between the use of these methods and academic performance and students’ satisfaction, although it is risky to claim the existence of causal relationship. The results of our study suggest that the combination of assessment tools of a different nature (prospective, formative and summative) might mean an efficient strategy (effective and with a reasonable cost for the teaching staff) for improving the performance and the satisfaction with teaching of students.
