.Abstract
 

The purpose of this article is to present an instrument that assists teachers in assessing the development of competences among students taking design courses. The competence-based education studies show that in a competence-based education, the need for evaluation tools in concerning design has not yet been attended. Thus a better understanding of materials and tools related to teaching design will make a significant contribution to the current literature. The participants for the study were both experienced and novice teachers that evaluated students in their design classes (i.e., graphic design, industrial design, and fashion design) from undergraduate courses in the State University of Aguascalientes (UAA) in Mexico. This study was conducted by the Integral Studies of Design research group. The study was structured by selecting pertinent competencies to design teaching from a literature review, and then from a qualitative perspective interview, identifying doubts, inquiries and perceptions that teachers have about the competence-based evaluation. Finally eight teachers evaluated, by participant observation, eight design students by using EVALUAA, a competence-based evaluation instrument for the design disciplines, and through this experience its strengths and opportunities were identified. For instance the instrument allowed teachers to focus in other aspects like attitude that not usually pay attention to. Because of this, at the end of the activity or design project teachers manifested that they had more data to perform a better evaluation of the design project and gave a grade more accurately.
