The integrative evaluation, its contribution to the professional formation in the Degree in Agricultural Education

Abstract

The Study Plan E in the Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education has as its guiding discipline Labor and Investigative Training, due to its condition it must achieve, more efficiently, the integration of the academic, the labor, the investigative and the extensionist. It coherently modulates the contents of the exercise of the profession present in Labor Practice, the Methodology of Educational Research and Agricultural Didactics. An exploratory study of the discipline showed that weaknesses related to the design, implementation and control of the evaluation are observed with an integrative nature, mimes do not always incite students to search, investigate and problematize the content they learn to solve professional problems. It is for this reason that this article aims to propose methodological guidelines for the planning, execution and control of integrative evaluation in the main integrative discipline of the degree in Agricultural Education. Methods of the theoretical level were used such as: the historical-logical, analysis and synthesis, induction deduction and the system approach. At the empirical level, the review of several documents of the methodological work and the observation of performance were used. This result was introduced three years ago in Pinar del Río, with the implementation of Study Plan E, showing satisfactory partial results in the conception of evaluations that pay tribute to the student's independent work through the development of search and research capacity, access to knowledge through the use of computer and communication technologies, the application of learning to solve professional problems on an interdisciplinary basis.
