Abstract

Following the profound changes higher education institutions have undergone in recent years, students are now considered the main protagonists of their own training and viewed as active agents in their learning process. In this new context, the suitability and level of competences students are expected to acquire have become an important aspect of their education. This study aims to evaluate and contrast teachers and students' perceptions of the acquisition and level of these competences in the Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy at the University of Murcia, Spain, both globally and by academic year. The results show that students and teachers' opinions coincide regarding the relevance of the competences, but not in relation to their level of achievement. Only final year students agree on the level of competence acquired. © 2020 Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. All rights reserved.
