    In the European Higher Education Area, students assume responsibility for their own learning. Using self-assessment activities (carried out on virtual platforms), students increase their autonomy, responsibility, communication and flexibility in their learning process. This study uses a sample of 356 students during the academic year 2016/2017. The results show a positive impact between student participation in self-assessment activities and their learning outcomes. Individual and academic factors as well as attitude towards the subject influence students’ participation in self-assessment activities.

    Teaching Materials for Active Methodologies in University Education
    (2023-05-25) Esteban-Yago, Miguel; García-Luque, Olga; López-Martínez, María; Rodríguez-Pasquín, Myriam; Economía Aplicada
    In the present university educational model, teaching is less teacher-centered (instruction) and more student-centered (learning). In this context, it is essential to have adequate teaching materials to support the student, both in the learning process and in the evaluation stage of the subjects. Thus, the formative evaluation (it allows knowing the progress of the students, offering proposals for additional learning) becomes more important than merely summative evaluation (with the sole purpose of obtaining a grade). This article presents a teaching-learning proposal based on the experience accumulated by the authors over several years, in which different teaching innovations have been applied. These innovations were intended to facilitate learning, improve results, increase motivation, foster collaborative work and student involvement, among other objectives. It has been found that active methodologies improve learning results through student motivation and involvement. For their part, teaching materials play a fundamental role in guiding and orienting the students’ autonomous learning process and, at the same time, facilitating collaborative and participatory dynamics in the classroom.
