CASTILLO ZUNIGA, Ma. Silvia et al. Performance of generic competencies based on the research projects of students in agricultural technological high schools in Coahuila. RMIE [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.79, pp.1217-1234. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the generic competencies of students in eight agricultural technological high schools in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. The basis of the evaluation was student research projects on the transfer of technology, socioeconomics, and sustainability. The participants were twelve evaluators who rated the projects using a checklist of nine questions. The differences among the types of projects were not statistically significant; in contrast, differences were detected by evaluator, school, and question type. Discussion involves the pertinence of these projects for implementing tests that evaluate generic competencies in students, as well as the causes of the differences. A research agenda is suggested to further the results of this study.
