EVALUATION OF

The public tender

The procedure, evaluation, scoring and development of the merit-based public tender in the modality of young talent and general competition shall be governed by the provisions of the Regulations for the selection of professors at the UIS, approved through Acuerdo del Consejo Superior No. 046 del 29 de octubre de 2021.

The stages and tests of the public tender are as follows:

Stage I. Call

  • Publication and dissemination of the call.
  • Applicants registration.

Stage II. Preselection

  • Verification of compliance with the requirements of the call.
  • Psycho-technical test.

Stage III. Evaluation

  • Teaching Session: consisting of a written proposal and the development of the teaching session, which will be public (max. 30 minutes).
  • Research proposal in the disciplinary domain of the public tender: it consists of a written document and a presentation of the research proposal (max. 30 minutes).
  • Appraisal of the resume.
  • Development of a teaching session in accordance with the written proposal of item c). It will be public (max. 20 minutes).
  • Interview.
Each of the tests contemplated in the stages of the public tender are of an eliminatory nature, except for the evaluation of the resume and the interview. Likewise, the candidate’s failure to take any of the tests will be considered as a voluntary withdrawal from the public tender.
To quantify the results of the public tender, those responsible for the evaluation of each of the tests will use the following table as a guide.
Test Grade (points) Condition (Points)
Psycho-technical test Yes/No Yes
Teaching Session 0 – 300 ≥ 240
Research proposal 0 – 300 ≥ 240
Resume 300 Not applicable
Interview 0 – 100 Not applicable
Once the deadline for receipt of resumes has expired according to the established date, the Academic Vice Rectory and the Evaluation Committee will verify the fulfillment of the requirements of the call for applications by the applicants. A verification of compliance with the requirements of the public tender will be carried out on the part of the contestants.

The Academic Vice Rector’s Office will schedule the psycho-technical test among the applicants who meet the requirements set forth in the profile convened.

The psycho-technical test will be administered by an entity designated by the university and will be evaluated taking into account the following aspects:

Personality structure

  • Acceptance of others. Satisfaction of achievement.
  • Sharing experiences.
  • Teamwork.
  • Potential to develop a sense of belonging.

In this scenario, the candidate seeks to demonstrate not only his/her competence in the disciplinary field, but also his/her competence to allow others access to the understanding of information and to know how to use it. This session will be limited to the written proposal of the teaching session presented.

In this sense, it should be kept in mind that a 30-minute learning mediation session is a simulation and that, beyond evaluating the complex knowledge possessed by the teacher in the domain of educational sciences, it observes the teacher’s competencies to take advantage of communication scenarios to support learning. In this sense, the teaching session seeks to assess, in the mediator:

  • The quality of the dialogic processes in the classroom, which, by their nature, should be horizontal, generating trust.
  • The construction of a brief experience that motivates the interlocutors regarding the subject or theme of the session.
  • The quality, depth and complexity of the knowledge covered, without detriment to the dosage, relevance and language proportional to the (supposed) competence of the interlocutors.
  • Strategies for taking advantage of the interventions of the interlocutors to assess their understanding of the treatment of the topic.
  • The ways of involving interested parties in the activity or teaching session.
  • The use of the interlocutors’ error for the understanding of the subject matter, which implies metacognitive processes in the classroom.
  • The flexibility of the plan or the planned strategy to be adequate to the reality of the interaction in the development of the teaching session.
  • The way they articulate diverse information, the interest in researching in other sources different from what the teacher provides, the relation of the subject treated with the professional training in the domain of interest and according to the commitment of the interlocutors with the world in which they live.

Prior to the development of the teaching session, the candidate must submit the written proposal of the teaching session, defined as a pedagogical and didactic action alternative that aims to organize the teaching process to enhance learning and comprehensive training. For this purpose, the written proposal must define some pedagogical, didactic and disciplinary theoretical bases, from which previous knowledge is observed, teaching objectives and learning results are established, classroom activities and didactic instruments are organized and related, and the evaluation process is established.

The characteristics of the written proposal of the teaching session will be the following: a maximum of 8,000 characters, including bibliography, preferably Times New Roman font, 12 and APA Standards for citations and references.

The teaching session, with its content and formal elements, will be evaluated based on a series of criteria and indicators expressed in the following evaluation matrix:

Evaluated Aspect Criterios y valores
Criteria and values (0.90–1 point) Good (0.70 –0.89 point) Regular (0.50-0,69 point)   Deficient (0-0.49 point) Total
Quality of dialogic processes Its discursive activity generates a space conducive to dialogue, cordial interactions and learning. The participants, in a respectful and organized manner, are able to express themselves on the topic at hand. The professor offers an interesting and attractive speech to the audience, but the possibilities for dialogic interaction with the interlocutors are limited. The professor focuses the intervention on his speech and offers a very limited space for dialogic interaction at the end of the session. The professor’s discourse does not offer the possibility of dialogue with the audience or generates unidirectional relationships and tense and disorganized interactions.
Quality, depth and complexity of the knowledge covered. The professor’s discourse clearly shows the theoretical and conceptual bases of the discipline he/she offers. The professor’s discourse gives a clear idea of the theoretical and conceptual bases of the discipline he offers. The professor’s discourse does not allow us to locate the theoretical and conceptual bases of the discipline he/she offers. The professor’s discourse is not based on the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the discipline he/she offers.
Strategies for the use of didactic resources and interaction that allow for the understanding of the subject matter covered. The teacher uses diverse didactic and discursive strategies that allow interaction with the students, achieving efficiency in the understanding of the subject matter. Acknowledges input from interlocutors but does not use it to identify understanding and establish relationships that expand and clarify the topic. It establishes confusing relationships based on the interventions of the interlocutors and does not build agreements that allow understanding the subject. The professor negatively assesses or fails to acknowledge and use interlocutors’ interventions to identify understanding of ideas and clarify them.
Flexibility of the plan or the planned strategy to be adequate to the reality of the interaction in the development of the teaching session. The professor adapts the development of the teaching session to the characteristics of the auditorium and to the space and time conditions established. Faced with unforeseen events or requirements of the auditorium, he/she adapts his/her classroom proposal without inconveniences and negative evaluations. The professor adapts his intervention to the realities of classroom interaction, including the characteristics of the interlocutors and spatial and temporal conditions. However, he/she has difficulties in overcoming unforeseen events or new requests from the audience. When faced with unforeseen events or new requirements from the audience, the professor is unable to adapt the initial proposal for the teaching session. The professor does not accept modifications to the development of the session. Nor does he/she adapt to the characteristics of the interlocutors and to the conditions of space and time established.
