Resumen

Se propone en este artículo comparar la efectividad de la evaluación formativa y la evaluación sumativa al evaluar la comunicación en la realización de tareas online. Para ello, se diseñaron diferentes tipos de tareas online que los/as alumnos/as tenían que realizar en dos asignaturas, una del primer semestre y otra del segundo en el mismo curso académico. En el primer semestre se aplicó la evaluación sumativa al grupo de control y en el segundo semestre la evaluación formativa al grupo experimental. Se realizó este experimento con alumnos de posgrado cuya lengua materna era el chino y tenían que realizar las tareas en español. Con el fin de identificar y analizar los resultados del experimento se tuvieron en cuenta varios parámetros como el uso de marcadores metadiscursivos, la interacción con el profesor y la comunicación efectiva. Los/as alumnos/as realizaron las tareas de forma progresiva y se compararon los resultados en el grupo de control y el experimental. Se comentaron los resultados con el fin de identificar si se observaban diferencias en el uso de marcadores metadiscursivos y se extrajeron las conclusiones del estudio. 


Abstract

 In this paper, my main aim is to compare the effectiveness of formative assessment and summative assessment of communicative skills in online tasks. Different types of online tasks were designed to be done by students in two subjects in the first and second semester of an academic year. Summative assessment was carried out in the subject of the first semester to the control group. In the second semester, formative assessment was performed in another subject to the experimental group. This experiment was performed to graduate students whose mother tongue was Chinese and had to write the tasks in Spanish. In order to identify and analyse the results of the experiment, several aspects were taken into account, such as the use of metadiscursive markers, interaction with the teacher, and effective communication. The students did the tasks progressively and the results were compared in the control and experimental groups. The results were commented in order to identify if differences were observed in the use of metadiscursive markers and the conclusions of the study were drawn.


Keywords: summative assessment; formative assessment; markers; metadiscourse; non native speakers.
