Fuzzy System for Grade Assignment in Competence Assessment Based Educative Models

Abstract

Mexico is adopting the competence-based model for education improvement. One of the major problems is to quantify the results of assessment to provide a grade considering subjective data. It commonly results in the assignation of an arbitrary grade which is estimated by the experience of the teacher using the evidence from the students. This paper presents a fuzzy system for calculating the grade assignment at undergraduate courses considering the student competences. The obtained results are compared against the grades that are calculated with the traditional average method and those obtained with the pass-fail checklists method.
