Keywords:
Learning assessment, professional competencies, digital skills, ICTAbstract
In this research, we present the results obtained through an educational intervention that aimed to describe the implications in teaching and learning process for teachers and students, through the use of technology-mediated tests as an instrument to assess competencies of high cognitive level in a basic Management Accounting course. We developed an exploratory study using mixed methods for the analysis of survey data, observation, interviews and test. The study categories used in this research were: the use of technology to solve problems, technology risks and performance at work using technology, which were validated by factors analysis. Mediated technology test favor skills development aimed at solving problems and decision making, in contrast with the machining and replication procedures. However, it is necessary to redefine the relationship of control assessment for skills development at the possibilities that technology provides for the design of tests.References
