Development of a self-diagnosis guide to assess the initial proficiency level of the student outcome "Effective oral communication"

Abstract

[EN] Among the different student outcomes that scholars should achieve during their University studies, ¿Effective Oral Communication¿ is one of the most important ones since being an excellent communicator is essential not only for their professional careers but also for their social life. However, the different provenance of students when arrived at University results in most cases in a huge disparity in the mastery of the outcome, which makes it difficult to work in class through collective activities. In order to solve this problem, in this work, the development of a self-diagnosis guide to assess the initial mastery level of the ¿Effective Oral Communication¿ student outcome is proposed. With this tool, both students and teachers will have a complete knowledge of the initial level of the outcome in order to detect the weaknesses and strengths in its mastery outcome. Therefore, the proposed self-diagnosis guide will permit teachers to adapt the activities to work the outcome in class to the actual level of their students which will result in a higher improve of the mastery level of the outcome
