Abstract

Introduction: Higher education processes have shifted from teacher-centered teaching to student-centered and learning-centered approaches. Professional practices have needed to adapt teaching methods, curriculum planning, and evaluation accordingly. Regarding evaluation, within the Educational Model of the Catholic University of Temuco, competency-based evaluation has emerged. This has brought about challenges such as the generation of new evaluation instruments. Materials and methods: The aim of the research was to design and explore the psychometric properties of a scale of perception of the teachers in the practice of students in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT, through exploratory factor analysis. Results: Analysis of the psychometric properties of the scale resulted in two dimensions with adequate fit indexes, called generic competencies, made up of collaborative work and interculturality and specific competencies, made up of management, evaluation and intervention. Conclusions: It is recommended to further examine the behavior of the scale in different universities.
