Assessment of the teaching activity in university

Among the innovation processes launched in Italy in the last years, the assessment of the teaching activity in university is the one that keeps raising the greatest interest and debate. And if this last one, especially in the 90s, took the shape of a dispute and of the corporatist defense, today it qualifies as a multidisciplinary reasoning with the purpose to support a true assessment culture. In this spirit, it constitutes an opportunity to regenerate, in terms of theories, practices and effects, since the assessment boundary is quality. Thus, the main issue for our universities is just that: to agree to work within the proximity dimension between assessment and quality. The University of Ferrara endorsed such considerations long time ago, and it accepted the not easy change challenge to improve either the products or the processes.
