The skills assessment at university: to be an active part in the future educational choices

The assessment of the competences (or skills assessment) wants to be an integrated action of orientation, motivation and support, with the aim of support students into the building of their learning project through the analysis of core competences owned. The assessment of competence is centered on the subject because he is considered as the protagonist of his story and the main maker of his own adaptation to the life environment. In the 2012/2013 academic year, a pattern of Assessment of competences, has been offered to the first year’s students of some Department of the University in Naples Federico II. The service is developed into a guided auto assessment course of selfcompetences, formed by different steps through which every student has the possibility to be an active protagonist into an auto consciousness process. The auto assessment is operated by students that, autonomously and free to decide, chose to follow the pattern of his assessment.
